Abstract:
N-myristoylation is a lipid modification of many signaling proteins in which myristate is added to an N-terminal glycine residue. Here we show that PP2C74, a putative myristoylated 2C-type protein phosphatase (PP2C) in Arabidopsis, is transcribed in various tissues and has protein phosphatase activity. GFP-fused PP2C74 localized to the plasma membrane, but not when a glycine residue at position 2, which is the putative myristoylation site, was substituted with an alanine residue. Yeast two-hybrid analysis and GST pull-down analysis showed that PP2C74 interacts with AKIN10, the catalytic α subunit of the SnRK1 protein kinase complex, the β subunits of which are known targets of myristoylation.
