Cell death suppressor Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein, exists in a wide range of organisms. The split-ubiquitin system, overlay assay and the bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis demonstrated that Arabidopsis BI-1 (AtBI-1) interacted with calmodulin (CaM) in yeast and in plant cells. Furthermore, AtBI-1 failed to rescue yeast mutants lacking Ca2+-ATPase (Pmr1 or Spf1) from Bax-induced cell death. Pmr1 and Spf1, p-type ATPases localized at inner membrane, are believed to be involved in transmembrane movement of calcium ion in yeast. Thus, the presence of intact Ca2+-ATPases was essential for AtBI-1-mediated cell death suppression in yeast. To investigate the effect of AtBI-1 on calcium homeostasis, we evaluated sensitivity against cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an inhibitor of SERCA-type Ca2+ ATPases, in AtBI-1 overexpressing or knock-down transgenic Arabidopsis plants. These plants demonstrated altered CPA or ion stress sensitivities. Furthermore, AtBI-1 overexpressing cells demonstrated attenuated rise in cytosolic calcium following CPA- or H2O2- treatment, suggesting that AtBI-1 affects ion homeostasis in plant cell death regulation.
