COP1 SUPPRESSOR 4 promotes seedling photomorphogenesis by repressing CCA1 and PIF4 expression in Arabidopsis.


ABSTRACT: CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) and DE-ETIOLATED 1 (DET1) are founding components of two central repressor complexes of photomorphogenesis that trigger the degradation of a larger number of photomorphogenic-promoting factors in darkness. Here, we identify COP1 SUPPRESSOR 4 (CSU4) as a genetic suppressor of the cop1-6 mutation. Mutations in CSU4 largely rescued the constitutively photomorphogenic phenotype of cop1-6 and det1-1 in darkness. Loss of CSU4 function resulted in significantly longer hypocotyl in the light. Further biochemical studies revealed that CSU4 physically interacts with CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) and negatively regulates its transcriptional repression activity toward its targets. CSU4 represses the expression of CCA1 in the early morning and of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) in the early evening. Our study suggests that CSU4 acts as a negative regulator of CCA1 via physically associating with CCA1, which in turn, likely serves to repress expression of CCA1 and PIF4 to promote photomorphogenesis.
