Abstract:

The IQM4 protein in Arabidopsis thaliana encoded by AT2G26190 is a Ca2+-independent calmodulin-binding protein with an IQ motif. Screening and identifying the IQM4-interacting protein would lay a foundation for further understanding the signal pathways involved by IQM4. Yeast two-hybrid experiment was used to screen A. thaliana seedling cDNA library,one-to-one yeast two-hybrid system and bimolecular fluorescence complementary experiment were adapted to validate the interactions among proteins. The results showed that the 15 candidates of IQM4-interacting proteins were obtained,and the interaction of IQM4 with CAT2 or FBA1 was confirmed,indicating that IQM4 interacted with CAT2 or FBA1 in plant cells.

Key words: IQM4-interacting protein, Arabidopsis thaliana, yeast two-hybrid, bimolecular fluorescence complementation
