Analyses of AcMYBF110. (A) Amino acid sequence alignment of AcMYBF110 and other plant anthocyanin-promoting MYBs. The R2 and R3 MYB motifs are indicated. The bHLH motif indicates residues needed for the interaction with the bHLH partner, box A and box B are well-conserved in anthocyanin-promoting MYBs. (B) Anthocyanin contents and expression profiles of AcMYBF110 in various tissues of ‘Hongyang’ and fruit cultivars. Le, leaves; St, stems; Pe, petals; Ov, ovary; YF, young fruits (10 days after pollination); QH, ‘Qihong’; DH, ‘Dohong’; ZG, Actinidia arguta var. purpurea; XX, ‘Xuxiang’; CX, ‘Cuixiang’; JK, Jinkui’. Data represent means ± SE of three replicates. (C) Subcellular localization of AcMYBF110 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Scale bars: 50 μm. (D) Transient assays demonstrate the function of AcMYBF110 as a regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis. (i) Assay leaves of AcMYBF110 exhibited anthocyanin accumulation. (ii) HPLC analysis of leaves injected with empty vector (CK) and 35S:AcMYBF110-GFP (OE). (iii,iv) Expression analysis of AcMYBF110 and key anthocyanin biosynthesis genes in CK and OE leaves. Data were analyzed with t-test. P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
