Fig. 3 OsRFI2 interacts with OsAPX8. (A) Interaction between OsRFI2 and OsAPX8 verified by Y2H assay. OsRFI2 and OsAPX8 were cloned into pGADT7 and pGBKT7, respectively. Yeast cells were grown on SD/-Leu/-Trp and SD/-His/-Leu/-Trp + AbA synthetic dropout medium, respectively. BD, bait vector pGBKT7; AD, prey vector pGADT7. pGBKT7-p53 + pGADT7-T was used as a positive control. (B) GST pull-down assay for interaction between OsRFI2 and OsAPX8. OsRFI2-GST was used as the bait to pull down OsAPX8-His. The GST alone was used as control. An equal amount of OsAPX8-His was used in pulldown assays and as the input control. (C) BiFC visualization of the interaction between OsRFI2 and OsAPX8 in N. benthamiana leaves. The images were taken under a confocal microscope after transfection for 60 h. The combinations of empty vector cGFP with nGFP-OsRFI2 and empty vector nGFP with OsAPX8-cGFP served as negative controls, respectively. Bar = 1 mm
