PKS5 enhances the interaction between SOS2 and 14-3-3 proteins. a In vitro pull-down assay showing that PKS5 enhances the interaction between SOS2-JD and 14-3-3λ following incubation with SOS2-JD in kinase buffer containing ATP. JD, SOS2-JD; JDSA, SOS2-JDS294A. b In vivo Co-immunoprecipitation assay showing that PKS5 enhances the interaction between SOS2 and 14-3-3 proteins. Myc-SOS2 was extracted with anti-C-Myc agarose from 10-day-old seedlings expressing Pro35S:6×Myc-SOS2 in BigM/pks5-3/pks5-4/Col-0/pks5-1 backgrounds and analyzed by immuno blotting with anti-C-Myc and anti-14-3-3 antibodies. c Luciferase complementation imaging assay showing that co-expression of PKS5/PKS5-3/PKS5-4 in N. benthamiana enhanced the interaction between SOS2 and 14-3-3λ. d Relative fluorescence analysis of (c) by ImageJ. Error bars represent SD; p ≤ 0.05, Student’s t-test; n = 3; significant differences are indicated by different lowercase letters. e, f In vitro kinase assay showing that PKS5 negatively regulates SOS2 activity. Myc-SOS2 was extracted using anti-C-Myc agarose from 10-day-old transgenic seedlings treated with or without 100 mM NaCl for 12 h. His-SCaBP8 (SC8) and MBP were used as the substrates and anti-C-Myc antibody was used for immunoblot analysis. g, h In vivo Co-immunoprecipitation assay showing that PKS5 negatively regulates the phosphorylation status of SCaBP8. Myc-SCaBP8 was extracted from 10-day-old seedlings expressing Pro35S:6×Myc-SCaBP8 in the BigM/pks5-3/pks5-4/Col-0/pks5-1 backgrounds treated or not with 100 mM NaCl for 12 h and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-C-Myc and anti-phospho-SCaBP8Ser237 (anti-P-SC8) antibodies. i, j SOS recruitment system assays showing that PKS5 inhibits the SOS pathway by phosphorylating SOS2Ser294 and enhances the interaction between SOS2 and 14-3-3λ. Yeast cells expressing Arabidopsis SOS1 were co-transformed with the indicated plasmids, two positive clones with 3.5 μL of serial five-fold dilutions were grown on AP medium with different concentrations of NaCl to analyze the salt tolerance of yeast strains expressing SOS2, SOS2T168D/Δ308; SOS2S294D, SOS2T168D/Δ308/S294D.
