TbID and mTb exhibit robust biotinylation activity in N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis.
(A) Overview of the experimental setup. UBQ10pro::BirA*/TbID/mTb-YFP constructs with an NLS or NES for nuclear or cytosolic localization were used for transient and stable transformation of N. benthamiana and A. thaliana, respectively. Tobacco leaf discs or whole Arabidopsis seedlings were submerged in a 250 µM biotin solution, briefly vacuum infiltrated, incubated for 1 h at room temperature (RT,~22°C) and frozen. Untreated controls were infiltrated with H2O or frozen directly. Expression and activity of the BirA versions were analyzed by immunoblotting. (B–C) Biotin ligase activity in N. benthamiana (B) and Arabidopsis (C). Streptavidin (SA) and anti-GFP immunoblots (IB) of protein extracts from tobacco leaf discs and Arabidopsis expressing the cytosolic BirA variants without (-) and with (+) biotin treatment. Untransformed tobacco leaves and Col-0 wild-type (WT) seedlings were used as controls. Each sample is a pool of 3 leaf discs or ~ 30 seedlings. Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as a loading controls. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. For microscopy images showing the subcellular localization of the BirA variants in N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis see Figure 1—figure supplements 1 and 2. For immunoblots showing the activity and expression of both cytosolic and nuclear BirA versions in N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis see Figure 1—figure supplements 3 and 4. For a schematic overview over the generation and composition of the available vectors in the ‘PL toolbox’ see Figure 1—figure supplement 5.

TbID and mTb are highly active in the cytosol and nucleus of transiently transformed N. benthamiana leaves.
N. benthamiana leaves were transformed with UBQ10pro::BirA-YFPNLS or UBQ10pro::BirA-NESYFP expression vectors (BirA = BirA*, mTb or TbID). Two days after infiltration, leaf discs expressing either of the six constructs or non-transformed leaves (not transf.) were briefly vacuum infiltrated with 50 µM biotin and incubated for 10, 30 or 60 min at room temperature (~22°C). Untreated samples were used as controls to visualize the background activity of the biotin ligases with endogenous biotin. Each sample is a pool of two leaf discs. Activity and expression of the BirA-YFP variants were analyzed by immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) and anti-GFP antibodies. Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as loading controls. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins.

TbID is more active than mTb, but also produces more background labeling in Arabidopsis.
Five-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings expressing UBQ10pro::BirA-YFPNLS or UBQ10pro::BirA-NESYFP constructs (BirA = BirA*, mTb or TbID) were submerged in 250 µM biotin, briefly vacuum infiltrated and incubated at room temperature (22°C) for one hour (+). Non-treated seedlings were used as controls (-) to visualize the background activity of the biotin ligases with endogenous biotin. Activity and expression of the BirA-YFP variants were analyzed by immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) and anti-GFP antibodies. Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as loading controls. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. Each sample is a pool of ~30 seedlings. At least two lines were tested per construct; strong cytosolic lines and a strong nuclear TbID line are on the left, weak nuclear lines and WT are on the right. Blots were made and exposed in parallel. Different exposure times are shown to enable comparison of weak and strong lines. Short exposure times were 5 s, long exposures times were 30 s (SA blot) and 70 s (anti-GFP blot). mTb is less active than TbID, but has less background labeling with endogenous biotin, especially in low-expressing lines. WT samples and samples from lines 3, 10 and 3 of the BirA*-NESYFP, mTb-NESYFP and TbID-NESYFP plants, respectively, were also used for the blots shown in Figure 1C.

Activity and expression of the TbID/mTb-YFP constructs were analyzed by immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) and anti-GFP antibodies. Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as a loading controls. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. Each sample is a pool of ~30–50 seedlings. (A) Labeling time. Wild-type (WT) and UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS (TbID-YFP) seedlings were submerged in 250 µM biotin, briefly vacuum infiltrated and incubated for the indicated time at room temperature (22°C). A control sample was taken before treatment (0’). (B) Temperature-dependency. WT, UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS (TbID-YFP) and UBQ10pro::mTb-NESYFP (mTb-YFP) seedlings were submerged in 250 µM biotin and incubated for 1 h at the indicated temperature. Control samples (-) were incubated in H2O at 22°C. (C) Biotin concentration. UBQ10pro::TbID-NESYFP (TbID-YFP) and UBQ10pro::mTb-NESYFP (mTb-YFP) seedlings were submerged in 0.5 to 250 µM biotin and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. A control sample was taken before treatment (0 µM). (D) Biotin application. WT and UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS (TbID-YFP) seedlings were submerged in 250 µM biotin, briefly vacuum infiltrated (vac. inf.) or not and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. A control sample was taken before treatment. For a longer time course in Arabidopsis and quantification of the immunoblots shown in (C) see Figure 2—figure supplements 1 and 3.

Biotinylation by TbID in Arabidopsis increases over time.
Labeling time course with TbID in 4-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings expressing the UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS construct (TbID-YFPNLS). Seedlings were submerged in 50 μM biotin, briefly vacuum infiltrated and incubated for the indicated time at room temperature (22°C). A control sample and a wild-type (WT) sample were taken before biotin treatment. Activity of TbID over time was analyzed by immunoblot (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA). The Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membrane (CBB) is shown as loading control. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. Each sample is a pool of seedlings. The increase of labeling between 3 and 5 hof biotin treatment demonstrates that labeling of nuclear proteins is not saturated after 3 h.

Expression of the TbID constructs in lines used for the ‘FAMA interactome’ and ‘nuclear proteome’ PL experiments.
Confocal microscopy images of the cotyledon epidermis of 5-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings. Shown are the YFP channel (yellow), the cell walls stained with propidium iodide (purple) and an overlay. Scale bar = 50 µm. Excerpts of the overlay images were used in Figure 4A. FAMA-TbID-Venus and TbID-YFPNLS controlled by the FAMA promoter are expressed in developing guard cells (GCs). Expression is highest in dividing and young GCs and decreases as GCs mature. We did not see expression in developing myrosin cells (Li and Sack, 2014), but cannot rule out expression at growth stages that were not used in our experiments. TbID-YFPNLS controlled by the UBQ10 promoter is expressed ubiquitously (see also Figure 3—figure supplement 3).

The FAMApro::FAMA-TbID-Venus construct rescues the fama-1 mutant phenotype.
(A) FAMA-TbID-Venus rescues the seedling-lethal growth phenotype of fama-1. Col-0 wild-type (WT), fama-1 -/- and the FAMA-TbID rescue line (FAMApro::FAMA-TbID-Venus in fama-1 - /- background) were grown on ½ MS plates supplemented with 0.5% sucrose. Pictures of the seedlings were taken after 9 and 12 days. (B) FAMA-TbID-Venus rescues the stomatal development phenotype of fama-1. Brightfield images of the cotyledon epidermis of seedlings 5 and 9 days post germination (dpg). Scale bar = 50 μm. In the fama-1 mutant, guard cell precursors continue dividing and fail to differentiate into stomata with a central pore, resulting in clusters of guard cell precursors (black arrowheads).

Time course to determine time points for the PL experiments with FAMA-TbID. Five-day-old wild-type (WT) and FAMApro::FAMA-TbID-Venus (FAMA-TbID-Venus) seedlings were submerged in 250 µM biotin, briefly vacuum infiltrated or not and incubated for the indicated time at room temperature (22°C). Control samples were taken before treatment (0 min). Activity and expression of TbID were analyzed by immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) and anti-GFP antibodies. The Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membrane (CBB) is shown as loading control. Asterisks and circles mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins and putative FAMA-TbID targets, respectively. Each sample is a pool of ~20 seedlings.

Confirming successful labeling of proteins in the PL experiment.
For the PL experiments shown in Figures 4–6, 5-day-old wild-type (WT), FAMA-TbID, FAMAnucTbID and UBQnucTbID seedlings were submerged in a 50 μM biotin solution for 0, 0.5 and 3 h and washed repeatedly with ice cold water. Activity and expression of the TbID constructs at the three time points were analyzed by immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) and anti-GFP antibodies. The Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membrane (CBB) is shown as loading control. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. See Figure 4—figure supplement 5 for affinity purification of the biotinylated proteins.

Affinity purification of biotinylated proteins in the PL experiment.
Five-day-old wild-type (WT), FAMA-TbID, FAMAnucTbID and UBQnucTbID seedlings were treated with biotin for 0, 0.5, and 3 h (see Figure 4—figure supplement 4) and used for affinity purification (AP) of biotinylated proteins. Samples were taken at different steps of the AP procedure and used for immunoblots (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) to confirm successful biotin depletion and binding of biotinylated proteins to the beads (A–D). One of three biological replicates is shown for each sample. The positions of the TbID fusion proteins are indicated on the right and naturally biotinylated proteins are marked by asterisks. Protein extracts before (extract) and after biotin depletion (after PD-10) confirm that no significant sample loss occurred at this step. The protein extracts after AP (supern.) were depleted of biotinylated proteins, indicating binding of these proteins to the beads. Small aliquots of the beads were used for elution of bound proteins. In most cases, only the naturally biotinylated proteins could be eluted, presumably because TbID targets are biotinylated on multiple sites and bind the beads more strongly.

Free biotin from biotin treatment out-competes biotinylated proteins for streptavidin bead binding.
Four-day-old wild-type (WT) and UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS (TbID-YFPNLS) seedlings were submerged in H2O (-) or 50 μM biotin for 1 h and used for affinity purification of biotinylated proteins with streptavidin (SA) beads. Protein extracts before and after overnight incubation with the beads and proteins eluted from the beads were used for immunoblotting (IB) with streptavidin-HRP (SA) (A) and for SDS-PAGE (B) to analyze binding of biotinylated proteins to the beads. Biotin treatment led to an increase of labeling in the TbID-YFPNLS line, but also inhibited AP of biotinylated proteins as can be seen both in the protein extracts after incubation with the beads and in the eluates. Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as loading controls for the IB. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. The positions of TbID-YFPNLS, as well as of BSA (beads used in this experiment are blocked with BSA) and SA monomers that are eluted from the beads, are indicated.

Comparison of different biotin depletion methods and bead concentrations for an effective pulldown of biotinylated proteins.
Five-day-old seedlings expressing the UBQ10pro::TbID-YFPNLS construct were submerged in a 50 μM biotin solution for 3 h and used for biotin depletion-affinity purification (AP) experiments. For biotin depletion, protein extracts were either filtered through one (1x) or two consecutive (2x) PD-10 desalting columns or concentrated repeatedly using an Amicon Ultra centrifugal filter. Samples were taken before and after this step to check for protein loss. From the biotin-depleted extracts, a volume corresponding to 1/5 of the amount used for the PL experiments shown in Figures 4–6 was used for AP with the indicated amount of streptavidin (SA) beads. Samples of the supernatants after AP and of the proteins eluted from the beads were taken to determine the ratio of biotinylated proteins remaining in the protein extract and bound to the beads. All samples were analyzed by immunoblotting (IB) with SA-HRP. The amount of protein extracts and bead eluates loaded correspond to 0.05% and 0.5% of the total volumes, respectively. The Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained membranes (CBB) are shown as loading controls for the IBs. Asterisks mark the positions of naturally biotinylated proteins. Biotin depletion with the Amicon Ultra Centrifugal filter, but not with PD-10 columns resulted in considerable protein loss. Increasing the amount of beads increased the AP efficiency.

‘FAMA interactome’ experiment – PL with TbID reveals potential FAMA interactors involved in transcriptional regulation.
Workflow (left) and results (right) of the experimental setup and data filtering process. Biotinylated proteins from seedlings expressing FAMA-TbID or nuclear TbID in FAMA-stage cells (FAMAnucTbID) and from wild-type (WT) after 0, 0.5 and 3 h of biotin treatment were affinity purified (AP) with streptavidin beads and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Proteins that were identified in all three biological replicates of at least one genotype and time point (2511 proteins) were used to filter for FAMA-complex candidates by three consecutive filtering steps: First, proteins enriched in FAMA-TbID compared to WT were determined for each time point using unpaired two-sided t-tests with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction to remove background from non-specific binding to the beads. Only proteins that were identified in all three replicates of FAMA-TbID at this time point (high confidence identifications) were used for the test (cutoff: FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.5; ❶). Significantly enriched proteins were then filtered for enrichment compared to FAMAnucTbID (same t-test parameters; ❷) to remove stochastically labeled proteins. Finally, the remaining proteins were filtered for enrichment in biotin-treated versus untreated FAMA-TbID samples (t-test: p<0.05; ❸) to remove proteins that were not labeled in response to biotin treatment. The Venn diagram on the bottom left shows the distribution of the 47 candidates between time points (see Table 1 for candidate list). Scatter plots on the right show log2-fold changes and -log10 p-values from t-test comparisons between FAMA-TbID and WT (top) and FAMA-TbID and FAMAnucTbID (center). Proteins significantly enriched in FAMA-TbID are shown in yellow, orange and red. All filtering steps and statistical analyses were done in Perseus. Subcellular localization and functional distribution of the candidate proteins is shown as pie charts on the bottom right. Data were manually curated from literature. Abbreviations: Nuc, nucleus; Cyt, cytosol; CP, chloroplast; PM, plasma membrane; +, and other. For hierarchical clustering and PCA of samples used in this experiment, see Figure 5—figure supplement 2. For a multi scatterplot of all samples, scatterplots and heatmaps of proteins enriched in FAMA-TbID and FAMAnucTbID compared to WT and for enrichment of proteins over time in all three genotypes, see Figure 5—figure supplements 3, 4 and 6, respectively. For tables summarizing all identified and enriched proteins, see Supplementary file 2 – Tables 1-4. For an overview over the workflow and proteins identified by affinity purification of FAMA-interacting proteins using a classical AP-MS strategy with GFP-Trap beads, see Figure 5—figure supplement 1 and Supplementary file 2 – Table 5.

FAMA-CFP AP-MS experiments identified ICE1, but no novel transcriptional regulators as putative FAMA partners.
(A) Simplified workflow of the AP-MS experiments. Four-day-old seedlings of a FAMA-CFP line (FAMApro::FAMA-CFP in fama-1) and two lines expressing nuclear GFP under stomatal lineage-specific promoters (SPCHpro::GFPNLS and MUTEpro::GFPNLS) were treated with MG-132 to stabilize proteins and with formaldehyde (FA) to cross-link (X-link) proteins. X-linking was done with 0.25% FA in experiment 1 and with 0.125% in experiment 2. Proteins extracted from 15 g of plant material per sample were used for AP with GFP-Trap beads and purified proteins were identified by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Two biological replicates of each line were used in experiment 1, and four of the FAMA-CFP line and two of each control in experiment 2. (B) Significantly enriched proteins. Scatterplots show the log2-fold change and -log10 p-value from unpaired two-sided t-tests between FAMA-CFP samples and the controls with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction (cutoff: AP-MS 1: FDR = 0.2, S0 = 0.5; AP-MS 2: FDR = 0.01, S0 = 0.5; N = number of proteins used in each test). Significantly enriched proteins are shown in orange and FAMA and its heterodimerization partner ICE1 are indicated. The Venn diagram shows the overlap between the candidate proteins identified in the two experiments (inlcuding FAMA). Only FAMA and ICE1 were enriched in the PL experiment shown in Figure 5. Filtering and statistical analysis was done in Perseus. (C) Subcellular and functional distribution of candidates. Candidates were classified into nuclear and non-nuclear proteins based on localization predictions (SUBA4 consensus prediction) and experimentally determined localization data and nuclear localized proteins were further divided into such that are involved in transcriptional regulation (two proteins, including FAMA) or have a different function (six proteins). For a list of identified proteins and the localization predictions see Supplementary file 2 – Table 5.

Clustering and PCA of samples for the ‘FAMA interactome’ PL experiment.
(A) Hierarchical clustering. Proteins that were identified in all three replicates of at least one time point of one genotype were used for average linkage clustering with Euclidian distance. Rows and columns represent individual proteins and samples. In the sample dendrogram, genotypes, replicate numbers and time points are labeled with differently colored and numbered triangles, circles and square (same designations as in (B)). In the heatmap, proteins are colored according to their abundance (label free quantification value). White areas represent proteins not identified in a sample. (B) Principal component analysis (PCA). Missing value were imputed (from normal distribution) and the data matrix was used for PCA. Principal component 1 (PC1) was plotted against PC2 or 3. The PC1-PC3 plot (top) shows separation of the samples by genotype and time. Areas where samples cluster by genotypes and time point are shaded. A batch effect separating replicate 1 from replicates 2 and 3 is visible in PC2 (bottom) as well as in (A). Clustering and PCA analysis were done in Perseus using built-in functions.

Multi scatter plot of samples for the ‘FAMA interactome’ PL experiment.
Proteins that were identified in all three replicates of at least one time point of one genotype were used for a multi scatter plot. For each pair-wise comparison, LFQ values of individual proteins in sample A (labeled on top, x-axis) and sample B (labeled on the left, y-axis) are plotted against each other. Plots are scaled equally. Pearson correlation coefficients for each comparison are given in the upper left corner of the plots in blue.

Significantly enriched proteins in the FAMA-TbID and FAMAnucTbID lines.
For each time point, proteins that were significantly enriched in FAMA-TbID or FAMAnucTbID compared to wild-type (WT) were determined by two-sided t-tests with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction (cutoff: FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.5). Only proteins identified in all three biological replicates of either FAMA-TbID (A) or FAMAnucTbID (B) at the indicated time point were used for these tests (N = number of proteins used in each test). Scatterplots on the left show log2-fold changes and -log10 p-values from t-tests (plots in (A) are also shown in Figure 5). Significantly enriched proteins are shown in orange/yellow (A) or dark/light blue (B) and increase with the duration of biotin treatment. Known FAMA interactors (ICE1 and RBR1) and nuclear proteins in guard cells (FAMA and SCAP1) are indicated. The heatmaps on the right of each scatter plot show average linkage clustering of significantly enriched proteins in this plot. Proteins are colored according to their abundance (Z-transformed label free quantification values). White areas represent proteins not identified in a sample.

Validation of FAMA complex candidates.
Y2H (A–B) and pairwise proximity labeling assays (C) to test direct interaction and relative proximity of four putative FAMA interaction candidates: co-repressor complex components SEU and LUH and BR signaling TFs BZR1 and BIM1. ICE1 and MUTE were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. (A–B) Y2H assays: Yeast strain AH109 was co-transformed with pairwise combinations of BD (Gal4 DNA binding domain) or BD-FAMA and AD (Gal4 activation domain) or AD-bait protein fusions. Successful transformation and bait-prey interactions were tested for by growth on synthetic defined media (-LT: selection for transformants, -LTHA: selection for interaction) (A). To overcome the autoactivation activity of BD-FAMA (see -LTHA plates), 3-AT was added to the plates at two different concentrations to increase selection stringency. For each combination, three dilutions were spotted on the plates and pictures were taken after 6 days. Three clones per combination were tested with the same result. One replicate is shown. We noticed that both ICE1 and SEU cause a delay in yeast growth. Therefore, the clones used for the growth-based interaction assay shown in (A), were also streaked on a selective plate containing X-α-Gal for blue/white selection (B). Blue color indicates positive interaction. The picture was taken after 2 days. (C) Pairwise proximity labeling assays: FAMA-TbID-Venus or TbID-YFPNLS were co-transformed with HA- or myc-tagged versions of ICE1, MUTE, SEU and LUH (all under the control of the UBQ10 promoter) into N. benthamiana leaves. After 2 days, expression of the TbID construct was verified by fluorescent microscopy (see images on the right) and samples were frozen for pulldowns of biotinylated proteins with streptavidin (SA) beads. To avoid over-labeling due to high expression of bait and prey proteins and to label only close interactors of FAMA, no exogenous biotin was added to the leaves. Immunoblots on the right show total amounts of FAMA-TbID-Venus or TbID-YFPNLS (IB: GFP) and the prey proteins (IB: myc, IB: HA) in the protein extracts before pulldowns (input) and as biotinylated proteins eluted from the SA beads (IP). Coomassie stained membranes (CBB) are shown as a loading control. Red arrowheads mark evidence of biotinylation of the bait protein by FAMA-TbID. (D) Summary of observed interactions: Positive interactions with FAMA in (A–C) are indicated by arrows. Line thickness indicates interaction strength. LUH shows weak interaction in the Y2H but was not biotinylated in the PL assay, which could indicate that it is not a direct interactor of FAMA.

Increase of biotinylation in the PL samples over time.
Proteins that were significantly enriched in wild-type (WT), FAMA-TbID or FAMAnucTbID samples after 0.5 and after 3 h of biotin treatment compared to untreated samples were determined by two-sided t-tests with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction (cutoff: FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.5). Only proteins identified in all three biological replicates of wild-type (WT) (A), FAMA-TbID (B) or FAMAnucTbID (C) at any of the two time points were used for the tests (N = number of proteins used in each test). Scatterplots show log2-fold changes and -log10 p-values from t-tests. Significantly up-and down-regulated proteins are shown in red and blue and their number and percentage of all analyzed proteins are given. Only few proteins are enriched in any of the genotypes after 0.5 h of biotin treatment.

‘Nuclear proteome’ experiment – PL with nuclear TbID results in identification of FAMA- and global nuclear proteomes with high organellar specificity.
Workflow (left) and results (right) of the experimental setup and data filtering process. Biotinylated proteins from seedlings expressing nuclear TbID under the FAMA (FAMAnucTbID) and UBQ10 (UBQnucTbID) promoters and from wild-type (WT) after 3 h of biotin treatment were affinity purified (AP) with streptavidin beads and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Proteins that were identified in all three replicates of at least one genotype (3,176) were used to filter for the FAMA cell- and global nuclear proteomes: proteins enriched in FAMAnucTbID or UBQnucTbID compared to WT were determined by unpaired two-sided t-tests with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction. Only proteins that were identified in all three replicates of the respective nucTbID line (high confidence identifications) were used for the test (cutoff: FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.5; ❶). Scatter plots of the log2-fold changes and -log10 p-values from the t-test comparisons are on the top right. Significantly enriched proteins are shown in blue and green. Overlap of the enriched proteins and subcellular distribution are shown as Venn diagrams and pie charts on the center right. Proteins previously found in the nucleus in MS- or fluorescent protein (FP) fusion-based experiments, and proteins predicted to be in the nucleus (SUBA4 consensus prediction) are depicted in different shades of blue (N, nucleus; C, cytosol; CP, plastid; MT, mitochondrion; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; G, golgi; P, peroxisome; V, vacuole; PM, plasma membrane; EX, extracellular; #N/A, not available). Proteins that are highly enriched in or even specific to FAMA nuclei were identified through further filtering by comparing the abundance of the 394 FAMA nuclear proteins between FAMAnucTbID and UBQnucTbID using a two-sided t-test with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction (FDR = 0.01, S0 = 0.1; ❷). Proteins that were not enriched in the UBQnucTbID samples (higher in FAMAnucTbID or equally abundant) were considered ‘FAMA nuclei enriched/specific’. A scatterplot of the t-test results with ‘FAMA nuclei enriched/specific’ proteins in purple is shown at the center bottom. For hierarchical clustering and PCA of samples used in this experiment, see Figure 6—figure supplement 1. For multi scatterplots, scatterplots and heatmaps of proteins enriched in FAMAnucTbID and UBQnucTbID, see Figure 6—figure supplements 2 and 3. For a visualization of enriched GO terms, see Figure 6—figure supplement 4. For tables summarizing all identified and enriched proteins, published nuclear proteins and guard cell proteins, the localization data used for the pie charts in Figure 6, enriched GO terms of the nuclear proteomes and examples of identified proteins from different nuclear compartments, see Supplementary file 3 – Tables 1-8.

Significantly enriched proteins in FAMA-expressing and all nuclei.
Proteins that were significantly enriched in FAMAnucTbID or UBQnucTbID compared to wild-type (WT) were determined by two-sided t-tests with a permutation-based FDR for multiple sample correction (cutoff: FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.5). Only proteins identified in all three biological replicates of FAMAnucTbID (A) or UBQnucTbID (B) were used for these tests (N = number of proteins used in each test). Proteins that were enriched in FAMA nuclei compared to all nuclei (C) were determined by a two-sided t-tests with an FDR of 0.01 (S0 = 0.1) using only proteins significantly enriched in FAMAnucTbID compared to WT. Scatterplots on the left are from Figure 6 and show log2-fold changes and -log10 p-values from t-tests. Significantly enriched proteins are shown in blue (A) and green (B) and FAMA nuclei-enriched proteins in purple (C). Known FAMA-nuclei enriched proteins (FAMA, SCAP1, HDG2) are indicated. The heatmaps on the right of each scatter plot show average linkage clustering of significantly enriched proteins in this plot (A–B) or FAMA nuclei-enriched proteins (C). Proteins are colored according to their abundance (Z-transformed label free quantification values). White areas represent proteins not identified in a sample.
