Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Rice B2 and B3 RAFs phosphorylate SAPK9 in vitro and are required for SAPK activation in vivo (A) Add-back assay showing the capability of rice B2 and B3 RAFs to complement the ABA-induced expression of RD29B-LUC in the protoplasts of Arabidopsis OK100-nonu. Values are means ± SD (n = 4 biological replicates). **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, two-sided Student’s t test. (B) Recombinant OsRAF-KDs were used to phosphorylate recombinant SAPK9K51R in the presence of [γ-32p] ATP. Autoradiograph (upper) and Coomassie staining (lower) show phosphorylation and loading of OsRAF-KD and SAPK9K51R, respectively. Asterisks indicate the bands of different OsRAF-KDs. (C) Recombinant OsRAF-KDs phosphorylate the conserved sites in SAPK9K51R in vitro. Autoradiograph (upper) and Coomassie staining (lower) show phos phorylation and loading of OsRAF-KD and SAPK9K51R, respectively. Asterisks indicate the bands of different OsRAF-KDs. (D) Immunoblot by anti-pS166 antibody showing the phosphorylation of the conserved serine corresponding to Ser166 in AtSnRK2.4 (Ser176 in SAPK9) before and after ABA treatment in WT/NIP, raf-b2, raf-b3q, and raf-b2/3q. (E) Immunoblot by anti-pS166 antibody showing the phosphorylation of the conserved serine corresponding to Ser166 in AtSnRK2.4 (Ser176 in SAPK9) before and after ABA treatment in WT/NIP, raf-b2/3q, and pyl1/2/3/4/5/6/12. (F) Immunoblot by anti-pS166 antibody showing the phosphorylation of the conserved serine corresponding to Ser166 in AtSnRK2.4 (Ser176 in SAPK9) before and after mannitol treatment in WT/NIP, raf-b2, raf-b3q, and raf-b2/3q. (G) Immunoblot by anti-pS166 antibody showing the phosphorylation of the conserved serine corresponding to Ser166 in AtSnRK2.4 (Ser176 in SAPK9) before and after mannitol treatment in WT/NIP, raf-b2/3q, and pyl1/2/3/4/5/6/12. Images shown are representative of at least five independent experiments in (D)–(G).
