BAK1/YFP

This part can be used for expressing the plant pattern recognition receptor BRI1-associated receptro kinase (BAK1) from Arabidopsis thaliana in S. cerevisiae.

Biology

BAK1 is a cell surface receptor protein with an intracellular kinase domain and an extracellular ligand binding domain. The receptor is necessary for many functions in the plant like brassinosteroid signalling and it is also a critical player in plant immunity, as BAK1 interacts with many important cell surface receptors which perceive pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). One example of these PAMPs is the 22-amino-acid peptide flg22 from flagellin which is recognized by the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases flagellin-sensitive 2 (FLS2). Upon recognizing the flg22 peptide, FLS2 interacts with BAK1. This interaction drives the immune response of the plant.

To make expression of BAK1 visible and to test observe the localization in the cell, the BAK1 coding region has been fused to a yellow fluorescent protein by a 15 amino-acid long linker.

For initiation of the expression the promoter of this part is a truncated version of the ADH1 promoter from S. cerevisiae. For termination this part has sequence of the
