Q2. What is the GO term for clfR?
Enriched GO terms include regulation of transcription, postembryonic development (reproductive development, shoot development, gynoecium development) and hormone response.
Q3. What is the role of alanine zippers in the telobox?
Alanine zipper-like coiled-coil domains are necessary for homotypic dimerization of plant GAGA-factors in the nucleus and nucleolus.
Q4. What are the components of the PRC2 complex?
Complex components: one of two SET domain methyltransferases (CURLY LEAF (CLF) or SWINGER (SWN)), one of two VEFS domain proteins (EMBRYONIC FLOWER2 (EMF2) or VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2)), a WD40 domain protein that can recognize H3K27me3 (FERTILIZATION INPENDPENT ENDOSPERM (FIE)) and a histone binding protein (MSI1)3.2(a)
Q5. How many genes were considered high confidence?
132 of the 851 genes were significantly upregulated in prc2 mutants15,33 or strongly developmentally regulated48 and thus considered high confidence PRC2 regulated genes.
Q6. What is the phenotype of the gus activity in the wild type?
(e) Herbicide resistance (survival rate) conferred by the BAR gene product in n=60 independent T1 plants in the wild-type (top) or in the prc2 (clf-28) mutant (bottom) background.
Q7. What is the effect of knockdown on the class The authorBPC TFs?
Light green shading highlights the class The authorBPC TFs and light purple shading the C1-2iD Zn-finger proteins targeted for knockdown.
Q8. What is the phenotype of the clfR mutant?
(a) Leaf curling (inset) and flowering time in wild type (WT), the weak clfR mutant, class The authorBPC knockdown in clfR, C1-2iD ZnF knock down in clfR and in clf-50 RNA null mutant, bar = 1cm.
Q9. What is the qRT-PCR effect of the TFs?
(c) Simultaneous knockdown of Class The authorand C1-2iD C2H2 Zn TFs by RNAi (BPC + ZnFKD) in the wild type tested as described in (a, b) in 2 independent lines.
Q10. What is the significance of the test?
P -value (one-tailed Mann– Whitney U test): ns, not significant; P> 0.07; * P<0.05; ** P<0.01; *** P<0.001 relative to NC_1.3Physical interaction of PRE-binding transcription factors with PRC2.
Q11. What is the significant term of the GO term of the clfR?
The majority of the significant BPC1 and AZF1 target gene Gene Ontology terms are also significant Gene Ontology terms of FIE targets.
Q12. What is the mean SEM of two independent TF lines?
d) Leaf curling in wild type (WT), two independent lines (L1 and L2) of 35S:BPC1 clfR and of 35S:AZF1 clfR and the hypomorph clfR mutant.
Q13. What is the phenotype of the clfR TFs?
(b) Leaf curling phenotype of independent BPCKD clfR (top) and ZnFKD clfR (bottom) transgenic lines, bar = 1cm. (c) Phenotype quantification of genotypes in (b).
Q14. What is the p-value of the cis motifs?
(d) Enrichment (p-values, converted from the Z-scores of the motif enrichment calculations using a normal distribution) and frequency (%) of PRE cis motifs under FIE-bound peaks.
Q15. How many genes were identified in the Arabidopsis sporophyte?
The authors identified 1504 genomic regions marked by at least 3 of the following: H3K27me3, FIE, CLF or EMF115-17 (CLF ChIP-chip data: GSE7065) and linked these to 851 genes as previously described23.
