a Split luciferase complementation assays showing the interactions between PPD1/2 and MYC3/4. MYC3/4-nLUC and cLUC-PPD1/2 were coexpressed in N. benthamiana leaves. The luciferase activity was detected at 2 days later after infiltration. b The FRET-FLIM assays showing that MYC3/4 interact with PPD1/2 in N. benthamiana leaves. CFP fluorescence lifetime was obtained at 2 days later after coinfiltrating with different combinations of 35S:MYC3-CFP, 35S:MYC4-CFP, 35S:PPD1-YFP, 35S:PPD2-YFP, and 35S:DEL1-YFP constructs. 35S:DEL1-YFP was used as a negative control. c Pull-down analyses showing the interactions between PPD1/2 and MYC3/4 in vitro. GST-MYC3 and GST-MYC4 were incubated with MBP-PPD1, MBP-PPD2, and MBP, respectively. Proteins were pulled down by MBP-Trap-A agarose beads and detected by Western blot with anti-GST or anti-MBP antibody. d Co-immunoprecipitation analyses showing the interactions between PPD1/2 and MYC3/4 in Arabidopsis. Total protein extracts of 35S:Myc-PPD1/2;35S:GFP and 35S:Myc-PPD1/2;35S:GFP-MYC3/4 plants were incubated with GFP-Trap agarose beads. Precipitates were detected by Western blot with anti-GFP or anti-Myc antibody. e Pull-down analyses showing that PPD1/2 are required for the interactions between KIX8 and MYC3/4. His-KIX8 was incubated with GST-MYC3 or GST-MYC4 and MBP-PPD1 or MBP-PPD2. Proteins were pulled down by the Ni-NTA agarose beads and detected by Western blot with anti-GST, anti-MBP, or anti-His antibody. f Co-immunoprecipitation analyses showing that KIX8/9 and MYC3/4 are in a protein complex in Arabidopsis. Total protein extracts of 35S:Myc-KIX8/9;35S:GFP and 35S:Myc-KIX8/9;35S:GFP-MYC3/4 plants were incubated with GFP-Trap agarose beads. Precipitates were detected by Western blot with anti-GFP or anti-Myc antibody.
