Figure Lengend Snippet: Demonstrated interaction of TbLCYnV C4 with NbSnRK1 β2 in vitro and in vivo. ( A ) Interaction between TbLCYnV C4 and NbSnRK1 β2 by Y2H assay. Yeast strains of Gold co–transformed with the indicated plasmids were subjected to 10–fold serial dilutions and grown on an SD-Trp/-Leu/-His/-Ade medium. The strain–carried combinations of AD-T7/BD-P53 were used as a positive control, and those with AD-T7/BD-lam or with empty vectors BD and AD were used as negative controls. ( B ) BiFC assay showing the interaction between TbLCYnV C4 with NbSnRK1 β2 in vivo. The H2B-RFP transgenic N. benthamiana leaves co-expressing 2YN-C4 and 2YC-NbSnRK1 β2, 2YN-C4 and 2YC, or 2YN and 2YC-NbSnRK1 β2 were examined and imaged under confocal microscope. Expression of H2B-RFP was used a nuclear marker. Columns from top to bottom represent YFP, red fluorescence (RFP), and YFP/RFP merged field (merge). Scale bars represent 50 μm. ( C ) Interaction between C4 and NbSnRK1 β2 by Co-IP assay in vivo. N. benthamiana leaves were co-infiltrated TbLCYnV C4 with NbSnRK1 β2-GFP or GFP. Total proteins were extracted from the infiltrated leaf samples at 2 dpi. The samples were carried out with anti-GFP mAb-magnetic beads. The input and the co–immunoprecipitated proteins were analyzed by Western blot using anti-GFP or anti-mCherry antibody.
