Fig. 4. MHZ3 and ethylene receptors work collaboratively to regulate the phosphorylation of OsCTR2.

Fig. 4

a The phosphorylation state of OsCTR2 in Osers2d mhz3-1 is similar to mhz3-1. Osers2d is a gain-of-function mutant of OsERS2. b The phosphorylation state of OsCTR2 in MHZ3-GFP/Osetr2 is similar to Osetr2. Small black arrows indicate OsCTR2-Psuper. For a and b, 2-day-old etiolated seedlings were treated with air, 10 μL/L ethylene, or 10 μL/L 1-MCP for 1 hour before sampling. c OsETR2’s elevation of OsCTR2 phosphorylation requires MHZ3. d OsERS2’s elevation of OsCTR2 phosphorylation requires MHZ3. For c and d, the MHZ3 mutation does not affect the protein levels of OsETR2 and OsERS2. Total protein was extracted from 2-day-old etiolated seedlings. The protein content of OsETR2 was determined using an anti-c-Myc antibody, while the phosphorylation state of OsCTR2 was assessed using an anti-OsCTR2 antibody. An unspecific band was utilized as an internal reference. Ratio represents the ratio of OsCTR2-P to OsCTR2, which is set to 1.0 in the wild type (WT). Three independent experiments were repeated with similar results. Uncropped blots in Source Data file.
