Similar but not identical – a quadruple pack of LSU (RESPONSE TO LOW SULFUR) from Arabidopsis thaliana
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The members of plant-specific LSU (RESPONSE TO LOW SULFUR) family were first identified as strongly induced during sulfur starvation. Molecular function of these protein remains unknown, however they were identified as important stress-related hubs by several research groups. In Arabidopsis thaliana there are four members of LSU family. These proteins are involved in multiple protein-protein interactions and literature data suggest that they can integrate abiotic and biotic stress responses. LSU proteins are small and have the coiled-coil structure. Additionally to binding with other proteins they can form homo- and heterodimers and possibly also multimers. In this work we investigated interactions between different monomers of LSU1-4 using Y2H and BiFC methods. The differences in strength of various homo- and heterodimers formation were observed. The constructed by us structural models of the LSU1-4 homo- and heterodimers were in agreement with the experimental observations concerning differences in strength of dimers formation and might help understanding interaction of LSU with other partners. Since previously the partners of LSU were identified using the Y2H approach we decided to obtain the lists of LSU interactors in plants using the TAP-tagged LSU1-4. Interaction of LSUs with a few selected proteins from the lists was verified by Y2H and BiFC.
