摘要
The ERD14 protein ( early response to dehydration) is a member of the dehydrin family of proteins which accumulate in response to dehydration-related environmental stresses. Here we show the Arabidopsis dehydrin, ERD14, possesses ion binding properties. ERD14 is an in vitro substrate of casein kinase II; the phosphorylation resulting both in a shift in apparent molecular mass on SDS-PAGE gels and increased calcium binding activity. The phosphorylated protein bound significantly more calcium than the nonphosphorylated protein, with a dissociation constant of 120 muM and 2.86 mol of calcium bound per mol of protein. ERD14 is phosphorylated by extracts of cold-treated tissues, suggesting that the phosphorylation status of this protein might be modulated by cold-regulated kinases or phosphatases. Calcium binding properties of ERD14 purified from Arabidopsis extracts were comparable with phosphorylated Escherichia coli-expressed ERD14. Approximately 2 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of ERD14, indicating a minimum of two phosphorylation sites. Western blot analyses confirmed that threonine and serine are possible phosphorylation sites on ERD14. Utilizing matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight/ mass spectrometry we identified five phosphorylated peptides that were present in both in vivo and in vitro phosphorylated ERD14. Our results suggest that the polyserine ( S) domain is most likely the site of phosphorylation in ERD14 responsible for the activation of calcium binding.
