Changes in the SlPIN1 phosphorylation levels and protein accumulation in the AZ during abscission. (a) SlPIN1 protein levels were detected by western blotting in the AZ at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h and 24 h after flower removal. Coomassie-staining Rubisco protein is shown for total loading control (lower panel, full image is shown in Supplementary Figure S2). (b) Amino acid sequence alignment of AtPIN1 (317–356) and SlPIN1 (312–345) in the region containing the phosphorylation sites (asterisk). The framed Ser are conserved in the SlPIN1 and AtPIN1. (c) The phosphorylation site Ser418 (asterisk) in the amino acid sequence of SlPIN1 (413–513) was mutagenized to Asp. (d) SlPIN1 phosphorylation site status in the AZ 0 h, 12 h and 24 h after flower removal following ethylene treatment.
