  • Title: Complex formation between recombinant ATP sulfurylase and APS reductase of Allium cepa (L.).
    Author: Cumming M, Leung S, McCallum J, McManus MT.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 2007 Sep 04; 581(22):4139-47. PubMed ID: 17692849.
    Abstract:
    Recombinant ATP sulfurylase (AcATPS1) and adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate reductase (AcAPR1) from Allium cepa have been used to determine if these enzymes form protein-protein complexes in vitro. Using a solid phase binding assay, AcAPR1 was shown to interact with AcATPS1. The AcAPR1 enzyme was also expressed in E. coli as the N-terminal reductase domain (AcAPR1-N) and the C-terminal glutaredoxin domain (AcAPR1-C), but neither of these truncated proteins interacted with AcATPS1. The solid-phase interactions were confirmed by immune-precipitation, where anti-AcATPS1 IgG precipitated the full-length AcAPR1 protein, but not AcAPR1-N and AcAPR1-C. Finally, using the ligand binding assay, full-length AcATPS1 has been shown to bind to membrane-localised full-length AcAPR1. The significance of an interaction between chloroplastidic ATPS and APR in A. cepa is evaluated with respect to the control of the reductive assimilation of sulfate.
