The present study, carried out to identify stress-modulated calmodulin (CaM)-binding proteins in sorghum, resulted in the isolation of several proteins, which showed binding to CaM-Sepharose matrix. Calmodulin gel overlay assay and MALDI-ToF MS analysis revealed that an 85kDa protein (Hsp85), which interacted with calmodulin, cross-reacted with anti-N. crassa Hsp80 antibodies. Since these antibodies bind to plant Hsp90, sorghum Hsp85 is likely to be a member of the Hsp90 family. This study provides the first evidence that a member of Hsp90 (Hsp85) in plants exhibits CaM-binding properties.
本研究旨在鉴定高粱中受胁迫调节的钙调蛋白(CaM)结合蛋白,结果分离出了几种与CaM-琼脂糖基质结合的蛋白质。钙调蛋白凝胶覆盖分析和基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-ToF MS)分析表明,一种与钙调蛋白相互作用的85kDa蛋白质(热休克蛋白85,Hsp85)与抗粗糙脉孢菌热休克蛋白80(Hsp80)抗体发生交叉反应。由于这些抗体与植物热休克蛋白90(Hsp90)结合,高粱Hsp85可能是Hsp90家族的成员。本研究首次提供了植物中Hsp90家族成员(Hsp85)具有CaM结合特性的证据。
