Figure Lengend Snippet: a Detection of TaPIR1–TaHRP1 interaction using the yeast two-hybrid assay. Yeast transformants with marked constructs were grown on SD medium lacking LW (-Leu/-Trp) and those with LacZ activities were grown on SD-LWHA (-Leu/-Trp/-His/-Ade) supplemented with X-α-gal. b Detection of TaPIR1–TaHRP1 interaction in the nucleus of N . benthamiana leaves expressing the corresponding constructs based on the BIFC assay. A NLS fused with a red fluorescent protein (RFP) was used as a nucleus marker. Bar = 20 µm. Similar results are obtained from two independent biological experiments. c Verification of TaPIR1–TaHRP1 interaction using GST pull-down assay. Western blots of the recombinant protein mixture and proteins eluted from GST beads were detected with anti-His or anti-GST antibodies. Similar results are obtained from three independent biological experiments. d Confirmation of the TaPIR1–TaHRP1 interaction via Co-IP assays. Total proteins from N . benthamiana leaves expressing the labeled constructs and proteins copurified from GFP beads were detected via western blotting with anti-GFP and anti-HA antibodies. Similar results are obtained from two independent biological experiments. e Ubiquitination of TaHRP1 by TaPIR1 in vitro. Ubiquitinated TaHRP1, GST-tagged TaHRP1, and His-tagged TaPIR1 were separated and detected via western blotting with anti-ubiquitin, anti-GST, and anti-His antibodies, respectively. Similar results are obtained from two independent biological experiments. f Confirmation of TaHRP1 ubiquitination by TaPIR1 in protoplasts prepared from tapir1-AB , TaPIR1-overexpression, tapir1-AB -expressing TaPIR1 and Fielder plants. Ubiquitinated proteins copurified from the total proteins were detected with an anti-ubiquitin antibody. Similar results are obtained from two independent biological experiments.
