The Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein kinase C homologue, PKC1, is involved in maintenance of cell integrity during polarized growth. We have used a mutant complementation approach to investigate related signal transduction pathways in higher plants. Here we report the isolation of a cDNA from Arabidopsis thaliana which partially suppresses the lytic defect of a delta pkc1 yeast strain. The encoded protein, ANT, belongs to the AP2-related gene family and is essential for ovule development. Expression in yeast of a LexA-ANT fusion protein activates transcription of a reporter gene from promoters containing lexA operators. Our results support the idea that ANT acts as transcriptional activator in planta.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
