eIF2α phosphorylation selectively regulates gene transcription under cold stress conditions. (A) The immunoblotting assays of antibodies against phosphorylated eIF2α under normal temperature and cold stress conditions. Western blot results with Actin used as a control. (B) Hierarchical clustering analysis of cold-ATGCN1 genes at transcriptional levels. (C) GO terms analysis of cold-ATGCN1 down-regulated genes at transcriptional levels. (D) GO terms analysis of cold-ATGCN1 up-regulated genes at transcriptional levels. (E) Cold-ATGCN1 down-regulated genes selected for validation by using qRT-PCR. (F) Cold-ATGCN1 up-regulated genes selected for validation by using qRT-PCR. CK, grown in normal temperature conditions. Cold or Cold24, treated by cold stress conditions of 4°C temperature for 24 h treatment. qRT-PCR was repeated three times with similar results attained.
