Supporting InformationHuh et al. 10.1073/pnas.1214287110SI Materials and MethodsELISA. ELISA was performed as previously described (1). Briefly,total protein was extracted from Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-inoculated leaves using a disposable grinder in 200 μL of extractionbuffer (0.1 M Tris·HCl with 1% (wt/vol) sodium sulfite, pH 7.4) atthe indicated time points. Forty-five micrograms of each proteinextract was incubated overnight at 4 °C with 50 μL of coating buffer(Sigma-Aldrich) in an ELISA plate (Nunc). The plates were washedwithTBST buffer (0.01MTris·HCl, 0.85%NaCl, and 0.05%Tween-20, pH 7.4) and then blocked for 1 h with 0.1 M TBS buffer (0.1 MTris·HCl and 0.85% NaCl, pH 7.4) containing 1% (wt/vol) BSA.After washing with TBST buffer, a 1:500 dilution in 0.1 M TBSbuffer containing 0.1%BSAof polyclonal anti-CMVwas used as thedetection antibody during incubation for 2 h at room temperature. A1:2,000 dilution in 0.1 M TBS buffer containing 0.1% BSA of alka-line phosphatase goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma-Aldrich) was used asa secondary antibody. For color development, p-nitrophenyl phos-phate (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as the substrate, and the reactionwas visualized and quantified by measuring absorbance at wave-length of 405 nm (A405) in an ELISA reader (Bio-Rad).
RNA Blot Analysis. Total RNA was prepared from CMV-infectedplants as described previously (2). Five micrograms of total RNAwere electrophoresed in 1.5% (wt/vol) agarose gel containing6% (vol/vol) formaldehyde in 1× MOPS buffer (pH 7.0) andtransferred to Hybond N membranes (Amersham). Hybridizationswith a 32P-labeled CMV-specific 3′ UTR probe were performedwith PerfectHyb (Sigma-Aldrich) at 65 °C. Membranes werewashed twice at room temperature with 2× SSC containing 0.1%SDS for 5 min, followed by a 20-min wash in 0.5× SSC containing0.1% SDS at 65 °C. Finally, a high-stringency wash was performedin 0.1× SSC containing 0.1% SDS at room temperature for 20 min.Signals were detected using BAS-2500 phosphorimager (Fujifilm).
qRT-PCR Analysis for the Gene Expression upon Salicylic Acid Applicationand CMV Inoculation. Seeds were sown on 1/2 Murashige and Skoogmediumand10-d-oldseedlingsweresprayedwith1mMsalicylicacid(SA). At ∼3.5 wk, Col-0 leaves were dusted with carborundum andgently rubbed with CMV-Kor using brushes as described (1). Thesamples were collected at the indicated time points and RNA waspurified using a modified version of the hot-phenol method (2).qRT-PCR experiments were carried out using the LightCyclerReal-Time PCR Systems (Roche) with KAPA SYBR FAST qPCRMaster Mix (Kapa Biosystems) following the manufacturer’s pro-tocol. The thermal cycling program was 55 °C for 10 min, followedby 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and 60 °C for 1min.Actin7 (At5g09810)was used as the internal reference. The copy number of target geneswas determined by the comparative CT method (Applied Bio-systems). Primers used in these experiments are listed in Table S1.
Histological Assays. For histochemical analysis of β-glucuronidase(GUS) activity, seedlings or plants inoculated with CMV togetherwith control plants, were vacuum-infiltrated with X-Gluc stainingsolution [0.5 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), 10% (vol/vol)Triton X-100, 0.1 M K3Fe(CN)6, 0.1 MK4Fe(CN)6, and 2 mM X-Glc A], incubated at 37 °C overnight, and then transferred into70% (vol/vol) ethanol to eliminate chlorophyll (3). GUS activitywas observed using an Axioplan 2 imaging microscope (Carl Zeiss).
GST–APUM5–PHDandGST–APUM6–PHDProteinPurificationandEMSA.Toobtain the PHD region of APUM5 and APUM6, the PHD-con-taining sequence from APUM5 and APUM6 cDNA was PCR-amplified using Pfu DNA polymerase and TA-cloned into the T-easy vector following the manufacturer’s protocol (Promega). Theclone was then digested with BamHI and subcloned into a modifiedpET vector containing the gene coding for the N-terminal GST(GST) tag. Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL cells wereused to express the recombinant protein. Cells were grown in LBwith kanamycin (50 μg/mL) to an optical density at 600 nm (OD600)of 0.5. The overexpression of GST-fused APUM5–PHD andAPUM6–PHD was achieved by adding 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-thio-galactoside to the medium and growing the cells at 28 °C for 6 h.Bacteria were pelleted after induction, suspended in lysis buffer[20 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 120 mMNaCl, 10% (vol/vol) glycerol, 0.1%Triton X-100, 5 mMDTT, and 50 μg/mL PMSF], and subjected tosonication on ice for 1 min with a Vibra cell sonifier (Sonics &Materials). Bacterial lysates were then centrifuged and the su-pernatants were incubated with glutathione-linked resin. The resinwas washed with PBS and proteins were eluted from the resin withelution buffer [100 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 120 mM NaCl, 10% glyc-erol, 0.1% Triton X-100, 5 mM DTT, 50 μg/mL PMSF, and20 mM glutathione].For EMSA, synthetic RNAs were radiolabeled with [32P]ATP
(GE Healthcare) using T4 polynucleotide kinase (TaKaRa) andpurified from free nucleotides using Illustra ProbeQuant G-50Micro Columns (GE Healthcare). The indicated concentrationsof purified GST–APUM5–PHD and GST–APUM6–PHD pro-teins were incubated in binding buffer [10 mM Hepes (pH 7.4),1 mM EDTA, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, and 0.01%Tween-20] with 10 fmol of labeled synthetic RNAs at 28 °C for1 h. Electrophoresis was performed on a 5% (vol/vol) nativeacrylamide gel at 100 V for 50 min at 4 °C. Gels were dried.Signals were detected using a BAS-2500 phosphorimager.
In Vitro Replication Assay. The putative APUM5 binding motif“UGUACUUCUA” in 3′ UTR regions of CMV RNA 1, RNA 2,and RNA 3 in pUC-T7 vector was mutated to “AAAACUUCUA”usingaQuikChangeXLSite-DirectedMutagenesisKit (Stratagene).Wild-type andmutant CMVRNAswere linearized by digestion withMluI and then in vitro transcripts were obtained using T7 mMES-SAGE mMACHINE kit (Ambion). These in vitro transcripts werecotransformed by polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast trans-formation in Arabidopsis protoplasts prepared from wild-type and35S-APUM5 #1 transgenic plants. After 24 h, RNA samples wereextracted from protoplasts and RNA blot analysis was performed.
Cap-Binding Assay. N-APUM5 (1–525 amino acids), eIF4E, andCBP80 proteins were synthesized via an in vitro translation sys-tem (Promega) using [35S]methionine. The synthesized proteinswere added to 20 μL of a 50% (vol/vol) slurry of 7-methyl-GTP-Sepharose (Amersham) and incubated for 1 h at 4 °C. The resinwas washed six times with washing buffer [50 mM Hepes (pH7.0), 40 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, and 0.1% Triton X-100]. Thebound proteins were eluted with 2× SDS sample buffer and thenelectrophoresis was performed using 12% SDS-polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. Gels were dried and the signals were de-tected using a BAS-2500 phosphorimager.

Fig. S1. #75010 mutant plants have a single T-DNA insertion in the Pumilio protein gene containing the putative Pumilio RNA-binding domain (PHD). (A)Strategy of screening for mutants with altered susceptibility to CMV infection. Approximately 30,000 Salk Institute T-DNA insertion mutants were inoculatedwith CMV-Kor. Arabidopsis mutants with attenuated symptoms were isolated by observing for symptoms and growth changes about 18 d postinoculation (dpi)with CMV-Kor. ELISA of CMV coat protein (CP) levels confirmed that the mutants had attenuated phenotypes compared with Col-0 plants. (B) Plants thatexhibited altered CMV susceptibility without abnormal phenotypes were examined by visual screening after CMV inoculation. ELISA was performed with thesemutant lines to confirm the attenuated symptom phenotypes. (C) Southern blot estimation of T-DNA insertion copy numbers. Arabidopsis genomic DNA wasdigested with BamHI and EcoRI and transferred to Hybond N (Amersham) membrane after electrophoresis. Southern blot analysis was performed with the
