Abstract:

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a widespread mechanism in flowering plants that prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing. Self-pollen recognition relies on the products of genes located at the S (self-incompatibility) locus. Significant progress has been made in understanding molecular interactions allowing stigmatic cells to recognize and reject self-pollen in Brassica during the past decades. Thus, the male and female determinants responsible for the self-incompatibility (SI) response have been identified. The structural features of these molecules strongly suggest that SI response is triggered by a ligand-receptor interaction. ARC1 is anArm Repeat Containing and also a downstream gene of SRK. ARC1 interacts with SRK probably in signal transduction pathway of self-incompatibility. In this study, with an aim to testify the interaction, the coding sequences of ARC1 were amplified from stigma mRNA of Brassica oleracea L., and inserted into the expression vector pET43.1a to construct the recombinant plasma pET43.1a-ARC1, transformed E. coli(BL21) and detected expression of the recombinant protein via SDS-PAGE. Using Co-Immunoprecipitation theory and characteristic of 6×His Tag combined with Ni+ in pET43.1a-ARC1, a new method was put forward for testing the interaction between proteins. Through the method the interaction between ARC1 and SRKwas analyzed, showing that ARC1 and SRK could act with each other to combine and form a complex. This research provides a theoretical and technical bases for further analyzing the mechanism of interaction between ARC1 and SRK, for probing into interaction between ARC1 and downstream targets.
