“…After selection on medium lacking Leu, Trp, and His, seven positive clones were picked, and the corresponding prey fragments were amplified by PCR and sequenced at their 5# and 3# junctions. Sequences were then filtered and contiged as described previously (Formstecher et al, 2005) and compared with the latest release of the GenBank database using BLASTN (Altschul et al, 1997). A predicted biological score (PBS) was applied to assess the reliability of each interaction, as described previously (Formstecher et al, 2005).…”

The functional protein phosphatase type 2C from beechnut (Fagus sylvatica; FsPP2C1) was a negative regulator of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in seeds. In this report, to get deeper insight on FsPP2C1 function, we aim to identify PP2C-interacting partners. Two closely related members (PYL8/RCAR3 and PYL7/RCAR2) of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) BetV I family were shown to bind FsPP2C1 in a yeast two-hybrid screening and in an ABA-independent manner. By transient expression of FsPP2C1 and PYL8/RCAR3 in epidermal onion (Allium cepa) cells and agroinfiltration in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) as green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, we obtained evidence supporting the subcellular localization of both proteins mainly in the nucleus and in both the cytosol and the nucleus, respectively. The in planta interaction of both proteins in tobacco cells by bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays resulted in a specific nuclear colocalization of this interaction. Constitutive overexpression of PYL8/RCAR3 confers ABA hypersensitivity in Arabidopsis seeds and, consequently, an enhanced degree of seed dormancy. Additionally, transgenic 35S:PYL8/RCAR3 plants are unable to germinate under low concentrations of mannitol, NaCl, or paclobutrazol, which are not inhibiting conditions to the wild type. In vegetative tissues, Arabidopsis PYL8/RCAR3 transgenic plants show ABA-resistant drought response and a strong inhibition of early root growth. These phenotypes are strengthened at the molecular level with the enhanced induction of several ABA response genes. Both seed and vegetative phenotypes of Arabidopsis 35S:PYL8/RCAR3 plants are opposite those of 35S: FsPP2C1 plants. Finally, double transgenic plants confirm the role of PYL8/RCAR3 by antagonizing FsPP2C1 function and demonstrating that PYL8/RCAR3 positively regulates ABA signaling during germination and abiotic stress responses.

The mechanisms underlying functional interactions between ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) proteins and Rho GTPases are not well understood. Here we characterized the interaction between ezrin and a novel Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor, PLEKHG6. We show that ezrin recruits PLEKHG6 to the apical pole of epithelial cells where PLEKHG6 induces the formation of microvilli and membrane ruffles. These morphological changes are inhibited by dominant negative forms of RhoG. Indeed, we found that PLEKHG6 activates RhoG and to a much lesser extent Rac1. In addition we show that ezrin forms a complex with PLEKHG6 and RhoG. Furthermore, we detected a ternary complex between ezrin, PLEKHG6, and the RhoG effector ELMO. We demonstrate that PLEKHG6 and ezrin are both required in macropinocytosis. After down-regulation of either PLEKHG6 or ezrin expression, we observed an inhibition of dextran uptake in EGF-stimulated A431 cells. Altogether, our data indicate that ezrin allows the local activation of RhoG at the apical pole of epithelial cells by recruiting upstream and downstream regulators of RhoG and that both PLEKHG6 and ezrin are required for efficient macropinocytosis. INTRODUCTIONThe membrane-cytoskeleton linker ezrin is mainly expressed in epithelial cells where it associates to the apical actin-rich structures such as microvilli (Berryman et al., 1993(Berryman et al., , 1995. Recent genetic analyses revealed that ezrin is essential for the morphogenesis of epithelial cells (Fiévet et al., 2007). In ezrin Ϫ/Ϫ mice, morphological defects in the apical domain of intestinal and retinal pigment epithelial cells have been observed (Saotome et al., 2004;Bonilha et al., 2006). In parietal cells, ezrin knockdown impairs the formation of canalicular apical membrane, resulting in severe achlorhydria (Tamura et al., 2005).How ezrin participates in the assembly of the apical actinrich structures such as microvilli is still poorly understood. The association of ezrin and the highly related proteins radixin and moesin with the cortical actin cytoskeleton is strictly regulated. ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) proteins contain a conserved globular N-terminal domain, called the FERM domain (Four point one ezrin, radixin, moesin), involved in the binding to both phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP 2 ; Barret et al., 2000) and plasma membrane proteins and a C-terminal F-actin-binding domain that resides in the last 34 amino acids (Turunen et al., 1994;Bretscher et al., 2002). In the cytoplasm, ERM proteins exist in a closed conformation because of an intramolecular interaction between the N-terminal domain and the last 100 amino acids called N-and C-ERMAD (ERM association domain), respectively . This intramolecular association masks the binding sites for plasma membrane proteins and F-actin. An activation step is required to disrupt this association that occurs through conformational changes induced by sequential binding to PIP 2 and phosphorylation of a conserved C-terminal threonine residue (T567 in ezrin; Matsui et al., 1998;Fié...
