This study first cloned and characterized the MAPK gene (RmMAPK) from Antarctic sea ice yeast R. mucilaginosa, and demonstrated its expression and phosphorylation level changes under low temperature, high salinity, and heavy metal stresses. The results suggest that MAPK cascades may play a key role in response to extreme stresses.
Background The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play important roles in various signaling transduction networks of biotic and abiotic stress responses. However, MAPK signaling pathways in cold-active yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa have not been reported comprehensively. Methods and results In the present study, MAPK gene (RmMAPK) was first cloned and characterized from Antarctic sea ice yeast R. mucilaginosa AN5. The full length of the RmMAPK gene is 1086 bp and encodes a 361 amino acids protein with a predicted molecular mass of 40.9 kDa and a pI of 5.25. The RmMAPK contains 11 MAPK conserved subdomains and the phosphorylation motif TGY located in the activation loop of the kinase. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot assay revealed that the expression and phosphorylation level of RmMAPK up-regulated rapidly and significantly when yeast cells were subjected to low temperature (4 degrees C), high salinity (120 parts per thousand NaCl) and heavy metal (2 mmol/L CuCl2). Conclusions All data suggested that the MAPK cascades might act as a key function in response to extreme stresses, such as low temperature, high salinity and heavy metal.
