Supplemental Figure S3. Overexpression of OsCPK4 in transgenic rice. A, Northern blot analysis of wild-type (WT) and transgenic OsCPK4 rice plants (T0 generation). Total RNAs were isolated from leaves of 15 day-old transgenic rice plants, subjected to formaldehyde-containing agarose gel electrophoresis and hybridized with a 32P-labeled cDNA probe encoding the N-terminal domain of OsCPK4 (variable region among rice CPKs). Longer exposure times allowed detection of the endogenous OsCPK4 transcripts (results not shown). Lower panel show ethidium bromide staining of RNA samples. Boxes denote the lines analysed in this work. B, 2D-PAGE of protein extracts from transgenic and vector control plants. Protein extracts (20 µg each) were probed with antiserum prepared against the N-terminal domain of OsCPK4. No serological reaction occurred when the preimmune serum was used to probe protein extracts from roots of either control or OsCPK4-rice plants (results not shown).

Supplemental Figure S4. Expression of salt-associated genes in roots of rice plants overexpressing OsCPK4. Transcript levels were determined by qRT-PCR using total RNA from roots. Specific primers for the indicated genes were used (Supplemental Table SIV). Five independently generated homozygous lines and three independent vector control lines were examined. Each RNA was prepared from a pool of roots of 10 plants. Representative results are shown for two OsCPK4 lines (lines 1 and 14) and two vector control lines (lines 3 and 11). A, Expression of LEA genes: OsLEA19a and OsLEA21; and Dehydrin genes, OsLEA23, OsLEA24 and OsLEA27. LEA genes are named according to Wang et al., (2007). B, Expression of transcription factor genes: OsDREB1A, OsDREB2B, OsNAC6, and OsONAC45. No significant differences were observed between the OsCPK4 and empty vector (pC) plants for any of the genes analysed.

SUPPLEMENTAL METHODS
Rice transformation
For overexpression of the OsCPK4 gene, a pCAMBIA1300-derived vector
containing the maize ubiquitin 1 (ubi) promoter and the nopaline synthase (nos)
terminator was obtained. For this, the ubi promoter was obtained by digestion with
HindIII and BamHI of the pAHC17 plasmid DNA (Christensen and Quail, 1996) and
cloned into the HindIII and BamHI- digested pCAMBIA1300 vector (pC::pUbi
plasmid). Next, the nos terminator fragment was obtained by PCR amplification using
primers NOS-BHI-SmaI-F and NOS-KpnI-HIII-R. The amplified fragment was digested
with BamHI and KpnI and then inserted in the pC::pUbi plasmid, resulting in the
pC::pUbi::nos plasmid (BamHI and SmaI as unique cloning sites). Finally, the OsCPK4
DNA fragment was PCR-amplified from the full-length OsCPK4 cDNA sequence
(clone 001-032-C08; KOME (Knowledge-based Oryza Molecular biological
Encyclopedia)), using the primers OsCPK4-BHI-F and OsCPK4-SmaI-R, containing the
BamHI and SmaI restriction sites at the 5’ and 3’ end, respectively, of the OsCPK4
coding sequence. The amplified OsCPK4 fragment was then cloned into the BamHI and
SmaI sites of the pC::pUbi::nos vector, resulting in the pC::pUbi::OsCPK4::nos vector
(plasmid used for OsCPK4 overexpression in rice). Nucleotide sequences of the PCR
primers used for preparation of the plant expression vector are listed in Supplemental
Table SIII. Transgenic rice (O. sativa cv. Nipponbare) plants were produced by
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (A.tumefaciens EHA105 strain) as previously
described (Sallaud et al., 2003).
For Northern blot analysis of transgenic rice plants, 10 µg of total RNAs were
subjected to 1.2% formaldehyde-containing agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred to
nylon membranes (Hybond-N, Amersham) and fixed by ultraviolet cross-linking. The
nucleotide sequence encoding the N-terminal domain of the OsCPK4 gene (Met1-Arg58)
was PCR amplified from the full-length OsCPK4 coding sequence (clone 001-032-
C08), from the KOME database using the primers N-ter.OsCPK4-BHI-F and N-
ter.OsCPK4-SmaI-R (Supplemental Table SIII), labelled with [α-32P]dCTP and used as
probe. Hybridization was performed in phosphate buffer [125 mM Na2HPO4, pH 7.2,
7% (w/v) SDS, 1 mM EDTA] at 65°C overnight and washed three times for 20 min in
20 mM Na2HPO4 (pH 7.2), 1% (w/v) SDS, 1 mM EDTA at 65°C. The hybridized blot
was exposed overnight to a phosphor screen, and visualized with a Bio-Rad Personal
FX phosphorimager.
Analysis of oscpk4 mutants
Two T-DNA insertional (KO) lines were identified in the Postech Rice T-DNA
Insertion Sequence Database, the 2D-00040 (D00062) and the 1D-03351 (B08233)
mutants (Dongjin and Hwayoung background, respectively). Genotyping of the cpk4
mutants was performed with a PCR-based approach (see primer sequences in
Supplemental Table SIII). DNA was extracted from leaves of rice plants according to
the method of Murray and Thompson (1980) but using MATAB (0.1 M TrisHCl, pH
8.0, 1.4 M NaCl, 20 mM EDTA, 2% MATAB, 1% PEG 6000, and 0.5% sodium
sulphite) as the extraction buffer. Genomic DNA was isolated and used for PCR
genotyping of the cpk4 mutants.
Microarray construction and analysis.
Oligonucleotides for the rice transcriptomic array were designed using the Tethys
software (Oryzon Genomics, Barcelona, Spain). Tethys is an oligonucleotide design
algorithm that performs in silico thermodynamic simulation of the hybridization
procedure previously used in the design of gene expression or genome hybridization
arrays. The final array design based on the release 6.1 of the MSU Rice Genome
Annotation Project contained 3 x 29450 probes (3 technical replicates per probe)
representing approximately 20750 genes. Microarray slides, each containing two
microarrays, were synthesized by Agilent using ink-jet printing and in situ
oligonucleotide synthesis.
Total RNA (0.5 µg) amplification and labelling with Cy3 or Cy5 was carried out
using the MessageAmp™ RNA amplification kit from Ambion (Applied Biosystems).
Cy3- and Cy5-labelled cRNAs were combined and hybridized to the microarray for 17h
at 60°C using Agilent's gaskets G2534-60002, G2534A hybridization chambers and
DNA Hybridization Oven G2545A, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Raw
data were obtained using Agilent's DNA Microarray Scanner G2505B and Feature
Extraction software (v10.1). The raw fluorescence intensity data were processed using
the Polyphemus™ software, developed at Oryzon Genomics.
Subcellular localization of OsCPK4
The OsCPK4 DNA fragment was PCR-amplified from the full-length OsCPK4
cDNA sequence (clone 001-032-C08) from the KOME collection using the primers
OsCPK4-BHI-F and OsCPK4-SacI-R, which generated the BamHI and SacI restriction
sites at the 5’ and 3’ end of the OsCPK4 coding sequence (Supplemental Table SIII).
The PCR product was digested with BamHI and SacI and inserted upstream of and in
frame with the green fluorescent gene (GFP), in a pCAMBIA1300-derived vector
harbouring the maize ubiquitin 1 promoter. The procedure for bombarding onion
(Allium cepa) epidermal cells was conducted as described (Murillo et al., 2003) using a
Biolistic PDS-1000/He gene gun system (BIO-RAD). Onion cells were also
transformed using the plasmid for expression of the GFP gene alone. The expression of
the OsGFP4-GFP fusion gene was observed by confocal microscopy (Olympus
FV1000 spectral inverted confocal microscope) at 5 h after bombardment. To confirm
plasma membrane localization, cells were plasmolysed with 0.75 M mannitol for
15min.
Bacterial Expression, Purification of the OsCPK4 Protein, and Preparation of the
Antiserum
The sequence encoding the N-terminal domain of the OsCPK4 gene (Met1-Arg58;
Supplemental Fig. SII) was cloned into the BamHI and SmaI restriction sites of the
expression vector pGEX-4T-3 (GE Healthcare) for production of a recombinant C-
terminal Glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-tagged protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain.
Primers used for cloning are listed in Supplementary Table SIII. For purification of the
fusion protein, cells from the IPTG (isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside)-induced
culture were lysed by incubation with lysozyme (1 mg mL-1, 2 h on ice). After
centrifugation of the bacterial lysate, the recombinant protein was recovered in the
supernatant. Purification of the recombinant protein was carried out by affinity
chromatography on glutathione-Sepharose 4B resin (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech)
and cleaved with thrombin (Sigma). Production of the OsCPK4 protein in E. coli was
monitored by SDS-PAGE analysis of bacterial extracts. Polyclonal antibodies were
raised in rabbits by multiple subcutaneous injections of the purified N-terminal domain
of OsCPK4 protein. Four weekly injections (100 µg each injection) were made and the
rabbits were bled 8 days after the third and four injection. Blood samples were collected
from the marginal ear vein. Preimmune serum was collected from the rabbits 1 week
prior to immunization. The antibody was then used to examine the accumulation of
OsCPK4 in protein extracts obtained from roots of transgenic rice plants.
Preparation of Protein Extracts, 2D-PAGE and immunoblotting
Protein extracts were prepared from root tissues as previously described (Romeis et
al., 2000). All protein concentrations were determined with the Bio-Rad dye reagent and
BSA as a standard. SDS-PAGE was performed according to the method of Laemmli
(1970). For 2D-PAGE, protein extracts in 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2% CHAPS, 1%
immobilized pH gradient (IPG) buffer and 2% DeStreak reagent were separated on IPG
strips (7.5 cm, pH gradient 3–11) (http://www.gehealthcare.com) in the first dimension.
Second dimension was performed by SDS-PAGE (12.5% acrylamide in separation gel)
on a miniprotean apparatus for 90 min at 120V. Blots were blocked in PBS-T buffer
(1XPBS = 0.05 M Na phosphate, pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl containing 0.1% Tween) and
10% nonfat dry milk for 1h at room temperature and incubated overnight at 4ºC in the
same buffer containing the anti-OsCPK4 antiserum at a dilution of 1:1000, washed four
times in PBS-T, and then incubated with protein A–peroxidase (Sigma) at a dilution of
1:10000 for 1h at room temperature. Following four washes in PBS-T, peroxidase
activity was made visible by incubating the blot with ECL Western Blotting Substrate
(Pierce) for 5min on an LAS-4000 Image analyzer (Fujifilm). (Wang et al., 2007)
