Calcineurin interacts with KIN-29, a Ser/Thr kinase, in Caenorhabditis elegans
چکیده انگلیسی

Calcineurin is a Ca2+/Calmodulin activated Ser/Thr phosphatase that is well conserved from yeast to human. In Caenorhabditis elegans, tax-6 and cnb-1 encode catalytic and regulatory subunits of calcineurin, respectively. We performed yeast two-hybrid screening using TAX-6 as a bait to identify calcineurin interacting proteins. KIN-29 is one of proteins that specifically interacted with TAX-6. KIN-29 is a Ser/Thr kinase previously shown to be involved in regulating gene expression of a subset of chemoreceptors in specific neurons. Both TAX-6 and KIN-29 are expressed in hypodermis, muscles, and neurons. Moreover, both calcineurin and kin-29 mutants exhibit similar phenotypes, namely small body size, small brood size, and slow growth. Here we describe specific genetic interaction between tax-6 and kin-29 in regulating body size, serotonin mediated egg laying, and chemoreceptor expression.
