Erythrocyte protein 4.1 (P4.1) is an 80-kD cytoskeletal protein that is important for the maintenance of the structural integrity and flexibility of the red blood cell membrane. Limited chymotryptic digestion of erythroid P4.1 yields 4 structural domains corresponding to the 30-, 16-, 10-, and 22/24-kD domains. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we isolated cDNA clones encoding pICln that specifically interacts with the 30-kD domain of P4.1. In this report, we show that the carboxyl-terminus (amino acid residues 103-237) of pICln binds to the 30-kD domain of P4.1 in a yeast two-hybrid system. The direct association between the 30-kD domain of P4.1 and pICln was further confirmed by the following findings: (1) the S35-methione–labeled pICln specifically bound to both GST/P4.1-80 (80 kD) and GST/P4.1-30 (30 kD) fusion proteins, but not to the proteins that lack the 30-kD domain; (2) coimmunoprecipitation analysis of the cell extracts from transfected SiHa cells showed that pICln and P4.1 associate in transfected cells. It was reported that pICln can form a complex with actin and may play a role involved in cellular volume regulation. The direct association between P4.1 and pICln suggests that pICln may link P4.1-bound cytoskeletal elements to an unidentified volume-sensitive chloride channel. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

We applied the yeast two-hybrid system for screening of a cDNA library of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia for clones encoding plant proteins interacting with two proteins of Escherichia coli: serine acetyltransferase (SAT, the product of cysE gene) and O-acetylserine (thiol)lyase A, also termed cysteine synthase (OASTL-A, the product of cysK gene). Two plant cDNA clones were identified when using the cysE gene as a bait. These clones encode a probable cytosolic isoform of OASTL and an organellar isoform of SAT, respectively, as indicated by evolutionary trees. The second clone, encoding SAT, was identified independently also as a "prey" when using cysK as a bait. Our results reveal the possibility of applying the two-hybrid system for cloning of plant cDNAs encoding enzymes of the cysteine synthase complex in the two-hybrid system. Additionally, using genome walking sequences located upstream of the sat1 cDNA were identified. Subsequently, in silico analyses were performed aiming towards identification of the potential signal peptide and possible location of the deduced mature protein encoded by sat1.

Abstract We have studied the Mos1 transposase encoded by the transposable element mariner. This transposase is a member of the “D,D(35)E” superfamily of proteins exhibiting the motif D,D(34)D. It is not known whether this transposase, or other eukaryote transposases manifesting the D,D(35)E domain, functions in a multimeric form. Evidence for oligomerization was found in the negative complementation of Mos1 by an EMS-induced transposase mutation in the catalytic domain. The transposase produced by this mutation has a glycine-to-arginine replacement at position 292. The G292R mutation strongly interferes with the ability of wild-type transposase to catalyze excision of a target element. Negative complementation was also observed for two other EMS mutations, although the effect was weaker than observed with G292R. Results from the yeast two-hybrid system also imply that Mos1 subunits interact, suggesting the possibility of subunit oligomerization in the transposition reaction. Overproduction of Mos1 subunits through an hsp70 promoter also inhibits excision of the target element, possibly through autoregulatory feedback on transcription or through formation of inactive or less active oligomers. The effects of both negative complementation and overproduction may contribute to the regulation of mariner transposition.

Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we identified a novel protein which interacts with ras p21. This protein shares 69% amino acid homology with ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator (ralGDS), a GDP/GTP exchange protein for ral p24. We designated this protein RGL, for ralGDS-like. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we found that an effector loop mutant of ras p21 was defective in interacting with the ras p21-interacting domain of RGL, suggesting that this domain binds to ras p21 through the effector loop of ras p21. Since ralGDS contained a region highly homologous with the ras p21-interacting domain of RGL, we examined whether ralGDS could interact with ras p21. In the yeast two-hybrid system, ralGDS failed to interact with an effector loop mutant of ras p21. In insect cells, ralGDS made a complex with v-ras p21 but not with a dominant negative mutant of ras p21. ralGDS interacted with the GTP-bound form of ras p21 but not with the GDP-bound form in vitro. ralGDS inhibited both the GTPase-activating activity of the neurofibromatosis gene product (NF1) for ras p21 and the interaction of Raf with ras p21 in vitro. These results demonstrate that ralGDS specifically interacts with the active form of ras p21 and that ralGDS can compete with NF1 and Raf for binding to the effector loop of ras p21. Therefore, ralGDS family members may be effector proteins of ras p21 or may inhibit interactions between ras p21 and its effectors.
