Transactivation activity analysis was performed according to Hu et al. [24 (link)]. To investigate the transactivation activity of ThNAC4, the entire coding region and a series of truncated ThNAC4 genes were cloned into the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA) and fused with a GAL4 DNA-binding domain. The yeast strain Y2H (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA) was transformed with eight constructs and the pGBKT7 vector (negative control). The transformed strains were confirmed by sequencing and streaked on SD/-Trp/-His/X-α-gal plates. The trans-activation activities were evaluated based on their growth status. The plates were incubated for 3–5 days at 30 °C. Three independent experiments were performed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The diploid P. x bretschneideri Rehd. is the first pear species with its genome comprehensively sequenced (Wu et al., 2012b (link)). We compared the sequence of our cloned PLC cDNA fragments isolated from pollen tubes with that of the ‘DangshanSuli’ (P. x bretshneideri Rehd.) genome to determine the full-length PLC sequence. The full-length cDNA sequences of S7-RNase and S34-RNase (DQ414813) were based on the P. x bretschneideri Rehd. genome and GenBank sequences, respectively. The S7-RNase and S34-RNase cDNA sequences were separately cloned into the pGADT7 vector (Clontech). The PLC cDNA sequence was cloned into the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech). Comparing with the PLC gene mutation of the ‘Jinzhuili,’ we inserted 78 nucleotide residues, which encoded 26 amino acid residues, into the same mutant position in the ‘Dangshansuli’ PLC gene. The mutation of the ‘Dangshansuli’ PLC gene was also cloned into the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech). Each bait/prey pair was introduced to the AH109 yeast strain (Clontech). As a control for auto-activation false-positives, each bait was also co-transformed into the yeast strain with an empty AD vector, and each prey was co-transformed with an empty BD vector. The bait/prey pair colonies that grew on all selective media (Trp-Leu and Trp-Leu-Ade-His) were considered positive for interaction.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The full length of MdPP2AC was ligated to the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech) as bait. The full length of MdPTPA and MdSnRK2.6 were ligated to pGADT7 vector as the prey, respectively. In addition, MdSnRK2.6 was ligated to the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech) as bait. The full length of MdPTPA was ligated to pGADT7 vector as the prey. Plasmids of the prey and bait were mated and transformed into the yeast strain Y2HGold (Clontech, USA), and the mating cultures were spread on stringent selective medium plates containing X-α-gal (20 mg mL-1) and 1 mg mL-1 Aureobasidin A (AbA). The plates were incubated at 30°C for 3 to 5 d and checked every 12 h for the development of blue color. Plasmids pGBKT7-Lam with pGADT7-T control vector and pGBKT7-MdPP2AC with pGADT7 were used as negative controls, and the pGBKT7-53 and pGADT7-T vectors were used as the positive controls. The primer sequences used are listed in Table S1.

Yeast-based Transcriptional Activity Profiling of PeTCP Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pGBKT7 vector (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, United States) was used to study the transcriptional activity levels of four PeTCP proteins in yeast. The full-length PeTCPs open reading frames were PCR amplified and independently cloned into the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech; containing the GAL4 DNA-binding domain) using the gene-specific primers listed in Supplementary Table S5. Subsequently, pGBKT7-PeTCP recombinant vectors, the positive control pGBKT7-53+pGADT7-T, and the negative control pGBKT7 empty plasmids were used to transform the yeast strain using the lithium acetate method. The transformed strains were further serially cultured on various SD selective media, including SD/-Trp and SD/-Trp/-His/-Ade/X-α-Gal, and incubated at 30°C for 3–5 days.

Yeast-based NF-Y Protein Interactions

The coding sequences of NF-YA8, NF-YB1, NF-YC10, and NF-YC12 were amplified by PCR and subcloned into either the pGADT7 or pGBKT7 vector (Clontech). The prey and bait plasmids were verified by sequencing and subsequently transformed into yeast strain AH109. pGADT7-T was co-transformed with pGBKT7-53 as a positive control. The yeast cells were grown on SD lacking Leu and Trp (DDO) selection media at 30 °C for 3 d. Interactions were tested using SD/–Leu/–Trp/–His/–Ade (QDO) medium. QDO with X-α-Gal was used to detect the α-galactosidase activity of the yeast strains. Images were taken 5 d after the incubation.
In the yeast one-hybrid analysis, DNA fragments corresponding to the promoters of target genes were independently inserted into the pHIS2.0 plasmid (Clontech). NF-YC12 was fused to GAL4 transcriptional activation domain (AD). These constructs were transformed into the yeast strain AH109. A one-hybrid assay was performed following the manufacturer’s instructions (Clontech). Primers used for cloning are listed in Supplementary Table S1.

CM1 domain of human CDK5RAP2 (58–196) [“(58–196)” indicates amino acids 58 to 196] was fused in-frame to the GAL4 DNA-binding domain using the pGBKT7 vector (CLONTECH). The resulting “bait” plasmid was used to screen a 9.5/10.5-day-old mouse embryo cDNA two-hybrid library (a gift from S.

First, BrERF72 was inserted into the pGBKT7 vector (Clontech, USA) to fuse with GAL4 DNA-binding domain. Then, the fusion construct pGBKT7-BrERF72, positive control (pGBKT7-53 + pGADT7-T), and negative control (pGBKT7 vector) were transformed into yeast cells Gold Y2H using the lithium acetate method. The transcriptional activation ability of BrERF72 was evaluated based on the growth status and α-galactosidase activity of yeast cells that grow on SD medium without tryptophan (SD/-Trp), or tryptophan, histidine, and adenine (SD/-Trp-His-Ade).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
