HbMYC2/3/4 bind the promoter and regulate the expression of the HbPIP2;1-P gene. (a). The pGADT7-HbMYC2, pGADT7-HbMYC3, pGADT7-HbMYC4 plasmids were transformed into Y187 Gold strains containing pHis2.1-PIP-P, after which the strains were cultured in SD/-His/-Leu/-Trp + 3-AT media at 30 °C for 3–5 days. (b) Schematic diagram of the reporter and effector constructs used in the luciferase assay. The firefly luciferase (LUC) reporter was driven by the HbPIP2;1 promoter, and HbMYC2/3/4 were driven by the CaMV 35 S promoter in each of the effector constructs. c. Luciferase assay of the enhancement of the HbPIP2;1 promoter activity by the overexpression of HbMYC2, HbMYC3, and HbMYC4 in protoplasts. The pPIP2:LUC reporter and respective 35 S:MYC2/3/4 effector constructs as well as empty vector controls were co-transformed into Arabidopsis protoplasts. Luciferase activities were quantified using a dual-luciferase assay kit (Promega, USA) and detected by using a GloMax® 96 microplate luminometer (Promega, USA). The values are the means ± SDs from the results of three replicates.
