Abstract
Proper spatiotemporal regulation of protein phosphorylation in cells and tissues is required for normal development and homeostasis. We present the protocol ‘In Gel Kinase Assay’, which is useful for protein kinase activity measurements from crude protein extracts. We have successfully used ‘In Gel Kinase Assay’ protocol to show that the Arabidopsis thaliana sextuple mutant in the PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORS (PYR/PYL/RCAR-ABA receptors; line pyr/pyl112458) is impaired in ABA-mediated activation of SnRK2.2, SnRK2.3 and OST1/SnRK2.6, as much as the triple mutant snrk2.2/2.3/2.6 (Gonzalez-Guzman et al., 2012).
Keywords: Kinases (激酶)Background
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is a key signal involved in plant growth and development as well as in plant response to abiotic and biotic stress. The ABA perception and signaling pathway is composed of PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORS (PYR/PYL/RCAR-ABA receptors), PP2Cs phosphatases and SnRK2s kinases (reviewed in Antoni et al., 2011). The module receptor-ABA-phosphatase controls the phosphorylation signaling cascades in a ligand-dependent manner through regulation of ABA-activated SnRK2s. In turn, SnRK2s kinases phosphorylate a myriad of effectors, both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm, from transcription factors (e.g., ABFs) to ion channels (e.g., SLAC1). We show here the protocol ‘In Gel Kinase Assay’ in details. This protocol was developed for protein kinase activity measurement in plant tissues protein extracts as well as from purified recombinant kinases. In brief: an SDS-polyacrylamide gel is prepared containing the ∆C-ABF2 peptide (a specific SnRK2.2, SnRK2.3, OST1/SnRK2.6 kinase substrate). ∆C-ABF2 peptide is trapped in the SDS-polyacrylamide gel mesh and it does not migrate during electrophoresis. On the other hand, SDS-treated protein samples, without boiling and without any reducing agent (e.g., DTT or B-ME), are only partially denatured and can be re-naturalized in some degree after washing SDS out. Moreover, kinase activity at a high sensitive level can be measured using [Gamma-32p]ATP. In this way, together with the kinase activity value we also have the electrophoretic mobility value associated with the kinase activity. Using a plant crude protein extract, and after sample electrophoresis and in gel protein renaturalization step, we can measure specific SnRK2.2/2.3/2.6 (SnRK2s) kinase activity in gel. We have applied this protocol to characterize SnRK2s activity in a PYR/PYL/RCAR-ABA receptor sextuple mutant. We show that the sextuple mutant line pyr/pyl112458 is impaired in ABA-mediated activation of SnRK2s, as much as the triple mutant snrk2.2/2.3/2.6 in Arabidopsis thaliana (result published in Gonzalez-Guzman et al., 2012).
