(A) His pull-down assays of PRE2/3 and UPB1. His-SUMO-UPB1, GST-PRE2, GST-PRE3, and GST were purified from E. coli. Purified proteins were used for the pull-down assay. His-SUMO-UPB1 protein was detected with an anti-His antibody, and the GST-PRE2, GST-PRE3, and GST proteins were detected with anti-GST antibodies. (B) Co-IP assays of UPB1 and PRE2/3. Protein extracts from 4-week-old 35S::PRE2-GFP/35S::HA-Flag, 35S::PRE2-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, 35S::PRE3-GFP/35S::HA-Flag, and 35S::PRE3-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag seedlings, An anti-HA antibody was used for immunoprecipitation, and immunoblot analysis was performed with anti-HA and anti-GFP antibodies. (C) Phenotypes of 5-day-old seedlings of Col-0, upb1-1, pre-amiR/pre3, pre-amiR/pre3/upb1-1, 35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, 35S::PRE2-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, and 35S::PRE3-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag. Bar = 0.5 cm. (D) Root meristem of Col-0, upb1-1, pre-amiR/pre3, pre-amiR/pre3/upb1-1, 35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, 35S::PRE2-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, and 35S::PRE3-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag in 5-day-old seedlings. White arrowheads (below) mark the position of the quiescent center (QC), and white arrowheads (above) mark the end of the meristem where cells start to elongate. Bar = 50 μm. The primary root length (E), meristem size (F), and meristem cell number (G) in the seedlings shown in (C). Date means ± SD (n≥20). Double asterisk represent highly significant differences (**, P<0.01; Student’s t test). (H) The UPB1 protein levels were detected in 35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, 35S::PRE2-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag, and 35S::PRE3-GFP/35S::UPB1-HA-Flag transgenic lines. UPB1 was detected with an anti-HA antibody. Actin was used as a control.
