Identification of AMP-activated protein kinase ?2 interacting proteins by bacterial two-hybrid screening / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To screen the proteins interacting with AMP-activated protein kinase ?2(AMPK?2)in rat brain cDNA library by bacterial two-hybrid system,and to investigate the biological role and the regulatory mechanism of AMPK?2 in brain.Methods The recombinant pBT-AMPK?2 was used as the bait to screen a rat fetal brain cDNA library by bacterial two-hybrid system.The plasmids of positive colonies were extracted and analyzed by DNA sequencing and BLAST search in GenBank.Results Seven proteins binding to AMPK?2 were screened out,including polyubiquitin,small heat shock protein 8,phosphofructokinase,cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅰ(COXⅠ),HLA-B-associated transcript 3(BAT3)isoform 1,protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type D(Ptprd)and islet-brain 1(IB1).Conclusion Polyubiquitin,HSP8,phosphofructokinase,COXⅠ,BAT3 isoform 1,Ptprd and IB1 can interact with AMPK?2 in brain.
