چکیده
To study the phosphorylation of one of the G-box binding factors from Arabidopsis (GBF1), we have obtained large amounts of this protein by expression in Escherichia coli. Bacterial GBF1 was shown to be phosphorylated very efficiently by nuclear extracts from broccoli. The phosphorylation activity was partially purified by chromatography on heparin-Sepharose and DEAE-cellulose and was characterized. It showed the essential features of casein kinase II activity: utilization of GTP in addition to ATP as a phosphate donor, strong inhibition by heparin, preference for acidic protein substrates, salt-induced binding to phosphocellulose, and salt-dependent deaggregation. The very low Km value for GBF1 (220 nM compared to approximately 10 microM for casein) was in the range observed for identified physiological substrates of casein kinase II. Phosphorylation of GBF1 resulted in stimulation of the G-box binding activity and formation of a slower migrating protein-DNA complex. The conditions of this stimulatory reaction fully corresponded to the properties of casein kinase II, in particular its dependence on the known phosphate donors. The DNA binding activity of the endogenous plant GBF was shown to be reduced by treatment with calf alkaline phosphatase; this reduction was diminished by addition of fluoride and phosphate or incubation in the presence of casein kinase II and ATP.

متن کاملPhosphorylation Affects DNA-Binding of the Senescence-Regulating bZIP Transcription Factor GBF1
Massive changes in the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana during onset and progression of leaf senescence imply a central role for transcription factors. While many transcription factors are themselves up- or down-regulated during senescence, the bZIP transcription factor G-box-binding factor 1 (GBF1/bZIP41) is constitutively expressed in Arabidopsis leaf tissue but at the same time triggers...
متن کاملTGA1 and G-box binding factors: two distinct classes of Arabidopsis leucine zipper proteins compete for the G-box-like element TGACGTGG.
Regulatory elements containing the sequence ACGT are found in several plant promoters and are recognized by various basic/leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins. The Arabidopsis G-box binding factor 1 (GBF1), initially identified by its ability to bind to the palindromic G-box (CCACGTGG), also interacts with the TGACGT motif if this hexamer sequence is followed by either the dinucleotide GG--as found i...

Several transcriptional regulators have been identified and demonstrated to play either positive or negative regulatory roles in seedling development. However, the regulatory coordination between hypocotyl elongation and cotyledon expansion during early seedling development in plants remains unknown. We report the identification of a Z-box binding factor (ZBF2) and its functional characterizati...
متن کاملMicroheterogeneous Cytosolic High-Mobility Group Proteins from Broccoli Co-Purify with and Are Phosphorylated by Casein Kinase II.
A group of low molecular weight protein substrates was found to co-purify with casein kinase II from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var italica). These substrates showed very high affinity toward casein kinase II and were efficiently phosphorylated even in the presence of an excess of exogenous substrates. The broccoli substrates were purified from cytosolic extracts as a double band of related pr...
