6. Physical interactions between SRK2E/OST1 and ABA
signaling factors in the yeast two-hybrid assay
A, estimation of partners would
interact with SRK2E/OST1
Interactions between
SRK2E/OST1 and each
signaling factor, including
ABI1, ABI2, AtRac1, and
GPA1, were determined by
growth assay on medium
lacking Leu, Trp, and His in
the presence of 20mM 3-AT
B , effect of the abi1–1mutation
on binding to SRK2E/OST1
Degree of binding to SRK2E/
OST1 was compared
between ABI1 and Abi1–1
by growth assay
SRK2E/OST1 was used as
the bait protein

domain in SRK2E/OST1
Interactions between ABI1 and each
construct presented inpanel A
were determined by growth assay
on medium lacking Leu, Trp, and
His in the presence of 20 mM 3-AT
.ABI1 was used as the bait protein
8. A model to explain SRK2E/OST1 signaling in
stomatal closure
When plants sense low humidity stress, the
signal may integrate into two pathways
ABA produced by low humidity may act on
Domain II throughPathway I )(step 3
ABI1 binds to this region and may regulate
SRK2E activity )(step 4
ABA may also activatePathway II. In this
case, ABI1 and ABI2 may function as negative
regulators )(step 5
On the other hand, the ABA-independent
pathway specifically acts onDomain I
throughPathway III )step 7( also regulates
)SRK2E activity )step 8
)These three pathways converge )steps 5, 9
and result in the complete closure of stomata
9. Conclusion
The direct interaction between SRK2E/OST1 and ABI1
through Domain II plays a critical role in the control of
stomatal closure
ABI1 and ABI2 may function as -ve regulators of ABA
signaling
SRK2E without Domain II was activated by low humidity
Domain II is required for interaction with ABI1 and
activation by ABA
Members of SnRK2 family may activate and be activated by
different downstream and upstream factors
