To mimic the GTP2binding and GDP2binding state of OsRacD, G15V and T20N mutations within its GTPase domain were introduced by PCR2based site2directed mutagenesis. The GFP2fusions of wild2type and mutant were constructed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter. The recombinant binary vectors were introduced into onion epidermal cells by Agrobacterium2mediated method. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the wild2type OsRacD fusion protein were localized in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, the G15V mutant distributed almost exclusively at the cell membrane, while the T20N mutant were primarily concentrated in the perinuclear region. The yeast two2hybrid results showed that the binding targets of OsRacD and the mutants were different. This study demonstrated that G15V and T20N mutations of OsRacD not only changed the cellular localizations, but also affected the interactions with targets, suggesting that the GTPΠGDP2binding state of OsRacD is critical to trigger different cell responses. Key words OsRacD ; site2directed mutagenesis ; GFP ; protein interaction

The GAL4 transcription activation domain vector (AD) was fused to OsRhoGDIs and OsRhoGAPs, respectively. The baits (pbd plasmids) and targets (pad plasmids) were co2 transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae YRG221 Cotransformants selected on SD2Trp2Leu2His (2LTH) mediums were then performed 2galactosidase activitives analysis. After incubating for 4 days at 30, the colonies on each plate were transferred to sterile filter papers by placing the filter on the plate, ensure the filter contact all the colonies. Then the filter papers with colony side up were freezed in liquid nitrogen and thawed at room temperature for three thimes, and placed on the filter paper soaked in the Z buffer with X2gal, incubated at 25 for 3 hours. The graphs on the left indicate the growth conditions of cotransformants on 2LTH and the right indicate the result of 2galactosidase assay corresponding to the left. The positive control was cotransformants harbored pad2wt and pbd2wt vector ; the negative control was cotransformants harbored plamin C and pad2wt vectors
