WGRP1 protein has Argonaute-binding capacity. (A) Primary sequence of the Arabidopsis WGRP1 sequence. The evolutionarily conserved N-terminal sequence is bolded and the location of the intron relative to the open reading frame is indicated by a vertical arrowhead. The WG/GW motifs in the WGRP1 CTD are in red and the WGRP1 sequence fused to GST is underlined. (B) Coomassie staining of the purified GST and GST-WGRP1 recombinant proteins used in the Argonaute-binding assay. (C) Preferential binding of AGO4 to the WG/GW-rich domain of WGRP1 protein. Myc-AGO4 or Flag-AGO1 extracts were applied to equimolar amounts of GST and GST-based fusion protein beads and the bound protein (Pellet) and supernatant (Super) fractions detected by immunoblotting with anti-Myc or anti-M2 antibodies. The GST protein was used as control.
