Validation of TAM functionality by a designed structure assay. (A) Cartoon representation of the protoplast transformation assay to validate the TAM functionality using a designed structure assay. GQS refers to a G-quadruplex. The miRNA156 target sites (blue comb) followed by 0 or 2 Adenines (As) and ending with a GQS. The prefixes, ‘0A’ and ‘2A’, indicate the number of Adenines. (B) In vivo RNA structures of 0A_GQS and 2A_GQS. (C) The non-cleaved mRNA abundance for the structures in (B) was measured by qRT-PCR (dark yellow bars). P-value < 0.01 by Student's t-test. The antisense target sites were used as controls (teal bars). Data are mean ± SEM from three independent biological replicates.
