AELs suppress ABA signaling and responses by phosphorylating and destabilizing ABA receptors PYR/PYLs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Unveiling the signal transduction of phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) will be greatly helpful to improve plant responses to stressful environment. ABA signaling is perceived and mediated by multi-member receptor PYR/PYLs, while whose post-translational modification, especially phosphorylation, is largely unknown. Here we demonstrated that Arabidopsis EL1-like (AEL), a casein kinase that regulates various physiological processes, phosphorylates PYR/PYLs and stimulates whose ubiquitination and degradation, leading to the suppressed ABA responses. Arabidopsis ael triple mutants display hypersensitive responses to ABA treatment, which is consistent with the suppressed degradation of PYR/PYL proteins. PYR/PYLs are phosphorylated in vivo and mutation of the conserved AEL-phosphorylation sites results in the reduced phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and degradation of PYR/PYLs, and hence the enhanced ABA responses. Our studies demonstrate the crucial roles of AEL-mediated phosphorylation in regulating the stability and function of PYR/PYLs and provide informative clues for elucidating the functional mechanism of ABA through regulating PYR/PYL receptors.
