Expression and analysis of ENDO1 activity. (a) Construction bearing, ENDO1, TBSV p19 or GFP ORFs. The box indicates the ORF of the protein to be expressed, cloned between the 35S promoter (35S-P) and the transcriptional terminator (35S-T) of CaMV. LB and RB indicate the left and right border of the T-DNA respectively. (b) Heteroduplex DNA was created based on two clones that differ in single base insertion at position 436 bp of the 644 bp test PCR product. Heteroduplex DNA was digested with the tobacco protein extract derived from leaves co-agroinfiltrated with ENDO1 and TBSV p19 constructs (upper picture) after 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000-fold dilution and analyzed on 1.5% standard agarose gel. Protein extract from leaves co-agroinfiltrated with TBSV p19 and GFP, instead of ENDO1 construct, was used as a negative control (lower picture).
