RESUMO
We used 5-azido-[7-3H]indole-3-acetic acid (5-azido-[7-3H]IAA), a photoaffinity analogue of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), to search for auxin-binding proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana membranes. We identified an auxin-binding protein with a molecular mass of 24 kDa (Atpm24) in microsomes as well as in plasma membrane vesicles. Atpm24 was solubilized by 1% Triton X-100 and partially purified. A cDNA clone (Atpm24.1) corresponding to Atpm24 was isolated. The amino acid sequence predicted from the Atpm24.1 cDNA contains 212 amino acid residues with a relative molecular mass of 24,128 Da. Data base searches revealed that the predicted protein has homology to glutathione S-transferases (GSTs; EC 2.5.1.18). When Atpm24.1 was expressed in Escherichia coli, we found a high level of GST activity in the bacterial extracts. We have analyzed the substrate specificity of this protein and found that cumene hydroperoxide and trans-stilbene oxide but not trans-cinnamic acid or IAA-CoA were substrates. A role for this GST in physiological processes of plants is discussed.
