1 Supplemental materials Materials and methods for supplemental figures Yeast two-hybrid assays TAP46-PP2Ac interactions I. The TAP46 was used as the bait and the full-length cdnas of the five C subunits of PP2A were used as preys, and an unrelated protein Tom20 was used as a negative prey control. The prey DNA fragments were produced by PCR using the oligonucleotide primers C1-YF1 and C1-YR1 for C1 (At1G59830), C2-YF1 and C2-YR1 for C2 (At1G10430), C3-YF1 and C3-YR1 for C3 (At2G42500), C4-YF1 and C4-YR1 for C4 (At3G58500), C5-YF1 and C5-YR1 for C5 (At1G69960), Tom20-YF1 and Tom20-YR1 for Tom20, cut with the restriction enzymes Eco RI and Xho I, then inserted into the prey vector pjg4-5 (Golemis et al., 1996). Information on PCR primers is listed in Supplemental Table 1. TAP46-PP2Ac interactions II. The TAP46 was used as the prey, the five C subunits of PP2A were used as baits, and Tom20 was used as a negative bait control. The TAP46 prey DNA was produced by PCR using the oligonucleotide primers TAP46-YF1 and TAP46-YR1, cut with the restriction enzymes Eco RI and Xho I, then inserted into the prey vector pjg4-5 (Golemis et al., 1996). The preys were produced by PCR using the oligonucleotide primers C1-YF1 and C1-YR1 for C1 (At1G59830), C2-YF1 and C2-YR1 for C2 (At1G10430), C3-YF1 and C3-YR1 for C3 (At2G42500), C4-YF1 and C4-YR1 for C4 (At3G58500), C5-YF1 and C5-YR1 for C5 (At1G69960), Tom20-YF1 and Tom20-YR1 for Tom20, cut with the restriction enzymes Eco RI and Xho I, then inserted into the prey vector peg202 (Golemis et al., 1996). Protein-protein interactions between TAP46 and other phosphatases. The full-length cdnas of PP4 (PPX1 and PPX2), PP6 (AtFYPP1 and AtFYPP3), and PP1 (TOPP4 and TOPP6) were amplified from a cdna library using oligonucleotide 1

2 primers PPX1-YF1 and PPX1-YR1 for PP4 isoform 1 (At4g26720), PPX2-YF1 and PPX2-YR1 for PP4 isoform 2 (At5g55260), AtFYPP1-YF1 and AtFYPP1-YR1 for PP6 isoform 1 (At1g50370), AtFYPP3-YF1 and AtFYPP3-YR1 for PP6 isoform 2 (At3g19980), TOPP4-YF1 and TOPP4-YR1 for PP1 isoform 1 (At2g39840), TOPP6-YF1 and TOPP6-YR1 for PP1 isoform 2 (At5g43380), digested with restriction enzymes Eco RI and Xho I, then inserted into the bait vector peg202 (Golemis et al., 1996), respectively. Antibody production and quality analysis The full-length cdnas of TAP46 and ABI5 were amplified by PCR from an Arabidopsis cdna library using oligonucleotides TAP46-obF1 and TAP46-obR1, ABI5-obF1 and ABI5-obR1, respectively, digested with restriction enzymes Bam HI and Sac I, then subcloned into the bacterial expression vector pet-30b of Novagen (Madison, Wisconsin, USA). Bacterially expressed ABI5 and TAP46 were purified to homogeneity by following the protocol of the pet bacterial expression system from Novagen (Madison, Wisconsin), then sent to the antibody production company Cedarlane (Burlington, Ontario, Canada) for raising antibodies. Both TAP46 and ABI5 antibodies were tested and confirmed before use. The TAP46 antibody could detect 5 ng purified TAP46 protein and detect a band from 5 µg of cellular protein extracts in Western blot analysis (Supplemental Fig. 7), and so was the ABI5 antibody (Supplemental Fig. 8), indicating that these two antibodies are in good quality. 2
