ABSTRACT
Protein degradation can occur
through Ubiquitin 26S-Proteosome System (UPS). The degradation can be
mediated by the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex
consisting of Skp1, Cullin, and F-box protein as the main components. The F-box
protein at the C-terminal domain functions to recognize the targeted protein to
be ubiquitinated and degraded via UPS. A stress-responsive F-box
gene, PmF-box1 from Persicaria minor was categorized in the F-box containing kelch
repeat (FBK) family; a family that specific to plant kingdom. To
identify the targeted protein of PmF-box1, yeast-two hybrid system (Y2H) was
used. In the Y2H screening process, mating efficiency is very important to fish
out the interacting proteins. Therefore, one modification was conducted to
increase the mating efficiency. In this screening, PmF-box1 was used as a bait
to screen for the Y2H library which was constructed using RNA from
plant samples treated with abscisic acid (ABA)
and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-8000 and control sample.
Autoactivation and toxicity tests of bait were performed before the Y2H
screening. Tests on PmF-box1 showed that it is not toxic to the yeast and
cannot autoactivate the yeast reporter genes. Mating efficiency was improved
from 2.07% to 9.15% after addition of PEG-4000 in the mating culture
compared to the original protocol, which it also increased the colony number in
the screening step afterward. Additionally, bands of gene with different sizes
were observed on electrophoresis gel after colony PCR analysis
from the improved technique. Those genes may code for potential interacting
proteins that needs further identification and confirmation.

ABSTRAK
Degradasi protein boleh berlaku melalui
Sistem Ubikuitin 26S-Proteasome (UPS). Degradasi tersebut boleh
berlaku berperantarakan kompleks SCF E3 ubikuitin ligase yang mengandungi
Skp1, Cullin dan protein F-box sebagai komponen utama. Protein F-box
pada domain C-terminal berfungsi untuk mengenal pasti protein yang
disasarkan untuk diubikuitinasi dan didegradasi melalui UPS.
Salah satu gen F-box yang bergerak balas terhadap tekanan, PmF-box1
daripada Persicaria
minor telah dikategorikan dalam famili F-box yang mengandungi
ulangan kelch (FBK);
merupakan famili yang khusus kepada alam tumbuhan. Untuk mengenal
pasti protein yang disasarkan oleh PmF-box1, sistem yis-dua hibrid
(Y2H) telah digunakan. Dalam proses penyaringan Y2H, kecekapan pengawanan
adalah sangat penting untuk mencari protein-protein yang berinteraksi.
Oleh itu, satu pengubahsuaian telah dijalankan untuk meningkatkan
kecekapan pengawanan. Dalam penyaringan ini, PmF-box1 telah digunakan
sebagai umpan untuk menyaring perpustakaan Y2H yang telah dibina
menggunakan RNA daripada sampel tumbuhan yang
dirawat dengan asid absisik (ABA) dan polietilena glikol (PEG)-8000
dan sampel kawalan. Ujian autopengaktifan dan ketoksikan umpan telah
dijalankan sebelum penyaringan Y2H. Ujian tersebut menunjukkan bahawa
PmF-box1 tidak toksik terhadap yis dan tidak dapat mengautoaktifkan
gen-gen pelapor di dalam yis. Kecekapan pengawanan dapat ditingkatkan
daripada 2.07% kepada 9.15% selepas PEG-4000 ditambahkan ke dalam kultur pengawanan berbanding
dengan protokol asal dan ia juga telah meningkatkan bilangan koloni
dalam langkah penyaringan selepas itu. Tambahan lagi, jalur-jalur
gen dengan saiz yang berbeza telah diperhatikan di atas gel elektroforesis
setelah analisis PCR
koloni daripada teknik yang telah ditambah baik. Gen-gen
tersebut mungkin mengekodkan protein-protein berinteraksi yang berpotensi
yang memerlukan pengenalpastian dan pengesahan selanjutnya.
