Real-time PCR cycling: 95 °C for 5 min; 40 cycles of 95 °C for 10 s, 60 °C for 30 s.
The amino and carboxyl terminals of G4-mutated OsYchF1 were amplified by PCR separately: 94 °C for 5 min; 30 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, 72 °C for 1 min 30 s; an additional polymerization step at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR products were then pooled and further amplified by adding forward and reverse primers with EcoRI and SalI sites with the same cycle profile. PCR products were finally purified and cloned into the EcoRV site of pBluescript KSII (+) via the TA cloning technique. Subsequently, an EcoRI/SalI-digested fragment was released and subcloned into pGex-4T-1 to form an in-frame fusion between OsYchF1-G4′ and the GST tag. For transformation into A. thaliana or BY2 cells, the OsYchF1-G4′ fragment in pBluescript KSII (+) was released by cutting with XhoI and XbaI and subcloned into the binary vector.
