AbstractA rice cDNA library was screened using OSK3 protein kinase as bait in a yeast two-hybrid system. The gene encoding oxalate oxidase was one of the positive clones interacting with OSK3 protein kinase. The interactions were verified by detecting expression of the reporter gene lacZ. The results suggest that oxalate oxidase is a downstream element in the disease resistance signal cascade mediated by OSK3 protein kinase in rice.

Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a central role in the control of proliferation and differentiation of a wide range of cell types by mediating the signal transduction response to hormones and growth factors. Upon activation by diacylglycerol, PKC translocates to different subcellular sites where it phosphorylates numerous proteins, most of which are unidentified. We used the yeast two-hybrid system to identify proteins that interact with activated PKC alpha. Using the catalytic region of PKC fused to the DNA binding domain of yeast GAL4 as "bait" to screen a mouse T cell cDNA library in which cDNA was fused to the GAL4 activation domain, we cloned several novel proteins that interact with C-kinase (PICKs). One of these proteins, designated PICK1, interacts specifically with the catalytic domain of PKC and is an efficient substrate for phosphorylation by PKC in vitro and in vivo. PICK1 is localized to the perinuclear region and is phosphorylated in response to PKC activation. PICK1 and other PICKs may play important roles in mediating the actions of PKC.

ABSTRACT Exogenous proline can protect cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from oxidative stress. We altered intracellular proline levels by overexpressing the proline dehydrogenase gene (PUT1) of S. cerevisiae. Put1p performs the first enzymatic step of proline degradation in S. cerevisiae. Overexpression of Put1p results in low proline levels and hypersensitivity to oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and paraquat. A put1-disrupted yeast mutant deficient in Put1p activity has increased protection from oxidative stress and increased proline levels. Following a conditional life/death screen in yeast, we identified a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) gene encoding a QM-like protein (tQM) and found that stable expression of tQM in the Put1p-overexpressing strain conferred protection against oxidative damage from H2O2, paraquat, and heat. This protection was correlated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction and increased proline accumulation. A yeast two-hybrid system assay was used to show that tQM physically interacts with Put1p in yeast, suggesting that tQM is directly involved in modulating proline levels. tQM also can rescue yeast from the lethality mediated by the mammalian proapoptotic protein Bax, through the inhibition of ROS generation. Our results suggest that tQM is a component of various stress response pathways and may function in proline-mediated stress tolerance in plants.

Protein kinase CK2, which was formerly known as casein kinase II, is a highly conserved protein serine/threonine kinase implicated in the control of cell proliferation through its phosphorylation of regulatory nuclear proteins. The enzyme consists of catalytic (α and (or) α′) subunits and β subunits that modulate the activity of the catalytic subunits. These subunits are arranged in homotetrameric (i.e., α2β2 or α′2β2) or heterotetrameric (i.e., αα′β2) complexes. We previously demonstrated using the yeast two-hybrid system that α (or α′) subunits can interact with β subunits but not other α (or α′) subunits. By comparison, β subunits can interact with α (or α′) and with β subunits, suggesting that the protein kinase CK2 holoenzyme forms because of the ability of p subunits to dimerize, bringing two heterodimers (αβ or α′β) into a tetrameric complex. In the present study, we used the yeast two-hybrid system to examine the domains of interactions between the α and β subunits of protein kinase CK2. These studies indicate that the ability of β to interact with α resides within the carboxy-terminal domain of β. By comparison, our studies suggest that individual domains of α are not sufficient for interactions with β.Key words: protein kinase CK2, casein kinase II, yeast two-hybrid system, subunit interaction, signal transduction.
