Further studies are needed to determine the transcription factors that interact with SLK1 and SLK2 to recruit LUH to the regulatory sequence www.selleckchem.com/products/Oligomycin-A.html of target genes. Microarray analysis in slk1, slk2 and luh mutant plants will provide additional insight into the abiotic stress response genes regulated by SLK1, SLK2 and LUH. Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries Methods Plant materials and abiotic stress treatment conditions The Arabidopsis ecotype Columbia and Landsberg erecta was used as wild type controls. luh 3, luh 4, slk1 1, slk2 1 mutant lines were obtained from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center. All the mutant lines are in the Col0 Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries back ground except for seu 1 which is in Ler background. The wild type and mutant seeds were sterilized with 50% bleach and planted on half strength Murashige and Skoog salt, 1% sucrose, 0.

8% agar media and incu bated at 22 C under long day light conditions in the growth chamber. For abiotic stress treatment, six day old seedlings were transferred to the MS media with or without Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries 125 mM NaCl or 300 mM mannitol and incubated in the growth chamber under long day condi tions at 22 C. Root length and fresh weight are expressed as a percentage relative to plants grown Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries on MS medium without stress treatment after 15 days for salt and 25 days for mannitol treatment. Yeast Two hybrid assay LUH, SLK1 and SLK2 cDNA clones were obtained from Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center. The cDNA clones were amplified by PCR with Pfu ultra and cloned in frame by In Fusion HD Cloning Plus into vector pGBKT7 at Nde1 Sal1 and pGADT7 at Nde1 BamH1 sites to generate Gal4 BD and Gal4 AD fusions respectively.

The LUFS domain was PCR amplified from LUH cDNA and cloned in frame by In Fusion HD Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries Cloning Plus into vector pGBKT7 at Nde1 Sal1 site. The histone gene H3, H4, H2A and H2B were amplified from total RNA by RT PCR with respective primers and inserted into vector pGADT7 at Nde1 BamH1site by In Fusion HD Cloning Plus to generate Gal4 AD fusion. All the sequences were verified by sequencing. The yeast two hybrid interaction assays were performed in Y2H Gold yeast strain according to manufacturers protocol and refer ence 14. The primer sequences are listed in Additional file 6 Table S2. Protoplast isolation The protoplast isolation and transfection was performed as described in.

Repression assay in protoplasts To construct reporter gene for repression assay, 342 bp CaMV 35S promoter was PCR amplified from pMDC32 vector using primers CaMV http://www.selleckchem.com/products/Abiraterone.html pUASluc2F, CaMV pUA Sluc2R and inserted at Hind111 EcoR1 site by In Fusion HD Cloning Plus in the plasmid pUAS luc2 to generate CaMV 35S LUC vector. The 5XUAS region was PCR amplified from pUAS luc2 plasmid using primers 5xGal4DBF, 5xGal4DBR and inserted at Bgl11 site in the CaMV 35S LUC to generate 5XUASGAL4CaMV 35S LUC reporter construct.
