Investigation of OsHSP20 homodimerization in yeast cells. (A) Schematic representation of OsHSP20 and the five truncations generated in the study. The full-length OsHSP20 (Full; spanning residues 1 to 158) was divided into three parts: the N-terminal arm (N; spanning residues 1 to 52), the α-crystallin domain (ACD; residues 52 to 143) and the C-terminal extension region (C; residues 143 to 158). Five truncated forms of OsHSP20 were prepared to express N, ACD, C, N + ACD or ACD + C. The presence (+) or absence (−) of homodimerization in YTH assay is shown on the right. (B) Interaction of intact OsHSP20 and truncations of OsHSP20 in co-transformed yeast cells grown on SD/-Ade/-His/-Leu/-Trp/X-α-Gal/AbA medium. Yeast colonies expressing BD-53/AD-T were used as the positive control. Yeast co-transformed with BD-Lam/AD-T, BD-OsHSP20Full/AD or BD/AD-OsHSP20Full were used as negative controls.
