Tomato bZIP28 transactivation activity. A Schematic representation of the domains of bZIP28. Numbers indicate amino acids. NTAD, N-terminal activation domain region; bZIP, basic leucine zipper; TMD, transmembrane domain; S1P, metalloprotease recognition site. B GUS reporter assay on PCNX1::GUS reporter of the indicated bZIP28p mutants expressed in tomato mesophyll protoplasts. Values are average of normalized GUS activity relative to mock control (n = 3). Error bars are ± SD and different letters indicate significant differences based on ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05). Immunoblot analysis of HA-tagged bZIP28p proteins expressed in protoplasts for the GUS reporter assay. LBRC, large subunit of RuBisCO. C Subcellular localization of bZIP28pΔ1-162-GFP or GFP alone in tomato protoplasts. Images are representative of many independent cells that showed the same result. OL, overlay of GFP and autofluorescence; BF, brightfield. D Transactivation activity of bZIP28p using GUS reporter assay on promoters (1 kb) of selected tomato genes. Values are average of normalized GUS activity relative to mock control (n = 3). Error bars are ± SEM and asterisks indicate significant differences based on Student’s t-test (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001)
