    4-7 Sequencing

    We outsourced the sequencing to Macrogen

    http://www.macrogen-japan.co.jp/cap_seq_0203.php

    4-8 RT-PCR

    We extracted B. Xylophilus whole mRNA using Sepazol®-RNA Ⅰ Super G according to the manufacturer's protocol.

    RT-PCR was performed using ~~~ according to the manufacturer's protocol.

    4-9 RTqPCR

    ????????

    4-10 Western blotting (Sample preparation of S. cerevisiae)

    1. Cultivate 1ml of S. cerevisiae culture whose OD600 values are 1.0
    2. Pour 1ml of the S. cerevisiae cell culture into 1.5ml tubes
    3. Centrifuge 5000rpm for 1min and remove the supernatant
    4. Resuspend with 30ul of SDS sample buffer
    5. Heat samples for 10min at 100°C using block incubater
    6. Vortex well

    4-11 Western blotting (Basic protocol)

    1. Apply sample to SDS-PAGE minigel (BIOCRAFT 15%)
    2. Soak the gel in transfer buffer
    3. Soak PVDF membrane in 100% methanol for 30 sec
    4. Soak PVDF membrane and filter paper in transfer buffer, leave for 5 min
    5. Set filter paper, membrane, gels, filter paper in this order to semidry transfer from anode to cathode
    6. Transfer the proteins from the gel to the membrane with 100 mA for 1 h
    7. Soak membrane in blocking buffer (dilution of 5 g ECL Blocking reagent by 100ml of TBST) for 1 h
    8. Wash for 5 min 3 times with TBST
    9. Apply 1' antibody (dilution of 10 μl of 1’antibody by 10ml of Blocking buffer) and shake for 1 h
    10. Wash for 5 min 3 times with TBST
    11. Apply 2' antibody (dilution of 4μl of 2’antibody by 10ml of Blocking buffer) and shake for 1 h
    12. Wash for 5 min 3 times with TBST
    13. Drain excess wash buffer from the washed membrane and place on flat surface, protein side up
    14. Add detection reagent onto the membrane, covering all of the membrane
    15. Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature
    16. Drain off excess detection reagent by dabbing with Kimwipe
    17. Place the sample in the CCD camera compartment and record the images

    4-12 Culture using yeasts and measurement

    1. Prepare medium put on 3.5 cm plate.
    2. Drop liquid-cultured yeasts on the center of medium.
    3. Disperse them by bacteria spreader and dry for 30min to 1 hour. Or leave them as they are.
    4. Pipette suspension including nematodes on the medium.
    5. Culture it at 25 ℃

    4-13 The way of taking photos

    1. Culture yeasts expressing GFP over night and dilute them three times with DW or SD liquid medium.
    2. Drop 200-300μl of water on the medium after one or two days, and pipette it in order to spread over the medium.
    3. Suck out 12ul of water on the medium and drop it on microscope slide.
    4. Cover it with cover glass and observe whether nematodes feed yeasts expressing GFP by fluorescence microscope.

    4-14 Methods of taking movies

    1. Make agar pad.
    2. Extract nematodes from PDA medium, collect them into 1.5ml tube and centrifuge it.
    3. Remove supernatant and put 1.5ul of suspension with nematodes into gap of cover glasses.
    4. Snap microscope slide with the finger and reach suspension to the center of agarose medium.
    5. Observe whether nematodes feed yeast expressing GFP by microscope and take videos of it.

    4-15 Way of making agar pad

    1. Make medium of 2% agar and sterlize by autoclave.
    2. Put sterlized slide glass between two of slide glasses covered with "Kimwipes", drop agar medium, then rapidly cover agar medium with another slide glass.
    3. After the medium sodifies, reveal slowly covered slide glass.
    4. Pipette yeasts on the medium, cover the medium on cover glass, and culture it for 1-2days.
