Plants sense various environmental stimuli and have specific signaling pathways to respond to these cues. We focused on light responsive components and found that NDKs were phosphorylated specifically after red light irradiation in Pisum sativum [Tanaka et al. (1998) J. Photochem. Photobiol. B 45: 113] and after blue light irradiation in Neurospora crassa [Oda and Hasunuma (1997) Mol. Gen. Genet. 256: 593, Ogura et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276: 21228]. We performed yeast two-hybrid screening using AtNDK1, the counterpart of NDK-P1 (Pisum sativum NDK1) in Arabidopsis, as bait, and isolated catalase3 (AtCat3). Interactions between AtNDK1-AtCAT1 and AtNDK1-AtCAT2 were also detected with the two-hybrid system. Non-denaturing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of crude extracts from plants revealed that catalase and NDK activities co-migrated in the same area of the gel. Transgenic plants expressing AtNDK1 under control of the CaMV 35S promoter exhibited tolerance to paraquat and high ability to eliminate exogenous H2O2. These results indicate that AtNDK1 has a role in ROS response.
