Phosphorylation and Methylation of Proteasomal Proteins of the Haloarcheon Haloferax volcanii
Figure 3
Rio-type protein kinases of H. volcanii. (a) Rio-type protein kinase homologs of H. volcanii, type-1 (HVO_0135) and type-2-like (HVO_0569), with conserved amino acid residues in bold and underlined. While HVO_0569 does not have a complete C-terminal domain, it does contain three of the five conserved residues of Rio type-2 kinases. (b) Purification of Rio1p (HVO_0135) from H. volcanii. Reducing SDS-PAGE gel of cell lysate (lane 1) and Rio1p purified by StrepTactin chromatography (lane 2) from in H. volcanii-pJAM2558. (c) Rio1p catalyzes its autophosphorylation. Autophosphotransfer was detected in vitro by autoradiography using [] ATP as a substrate with optimal activity detected at 10 to 50 mM MgCl2. *, identity of band remains to be determined.
