Fig. 1From: A plant protein farnesylation system in prokaryotic cells reveals Arabidopsis AtJ3 produced and farnesylated in E. coli maintains its function of protecting proteins from heat inactivationSchematic diagram illustrating the structure of vectors for plant protein farnesylation system in E. coli. a Arabidopsis AtPFTα and AtPFTβ cDNAs were cloned into multiple cloning sites 1 (MCS-1) and 2 (MCS-2) of pRSF-Duet1, respectively, to generate pRSF-Duet1-AtPFT. Both AtPFTα and AtPFTβ cDNA were fused with a 6x His-tag sequence downstream of a lac operator. Arabidopsis AtJ3 cDNA was cloned into expression vector pGEX-4T-1 to generate pGEX-AtJ3. In pGEX-AtJ3, AtJ3 was fused with both a GST and a 6x His-tag sequence for affinity purification and immunoblot identification. AtJ3 cDNA was also downstream of a lac operator for ITPG induction. b Rice OsPFTα and OsPFTβ cDNA were cloned into MCS-1 and MCS-2 of pRSF-Duet1 to generate pRSF-Duet1-OsPFT; rice OsDjA4 cDNA was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 to generate pGEX-OsDjA4.Back to article page
