Rice D14 generates and covalently binds the active form of SLs. (A) 5DS induced the interaction of rice D14 and D3 in the SEC assay. Upper panel: SEC analysis of the interaction between D14 and D3–ASK1 in the presence of 5DS; the elution volumes of the molecular weight markers are indicated above the peaks. Lower panel: SDS–PAGE analysis of peak fractions from the upper panel; M, molecular weight ruler (kDa). (B) Rice D14 hydrolyzed 5DS and generated the C5H5O2 modification on the catalytic residue H297. A quadruply charged peptide (287-TTVEFLQTEGHLPHLSAPSLLAQVLR-312) of D14 with the 5DS-derived C5H5O2 modification on H297 was identified by MS/MS (m/z=739.40202). The modified peptide was isolated from the trypsin digestion products of D14 in the 5DS-induced D14–D3–ASK1 complex collected in SEC (A). Labeled peaks correspond to masses of y and b ions of the peptide displayed on the top, respectively. The asterisked ‘H’ indicates the modified H297.
