RING-box proteins regulate leaf senescence and stomatal closure via repression of ABA transporter gene ABCG40
摘要Plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays an in-dispensable role in the control of leaf senescence, during which ABA signaling depends on its bio-synthesis. Nevertheless, the role of ABA transport in leaf senescence remains unknown. Here, we identified two novel RING-box protein-encoding genes UBIQUITIN LIGASE of SENESCENCE 1 and 2 (ULS1 and ULS2) involved in leaf senescence. Lack of ULS1 and ULS2 accelerates leaf sen-escence, which is specifically promoted by ABA treatment. Furthermore, the expression of senescence-related genes is significantly affected in mature leaves of uls1/uls2 double mutant (versus wild type (WT)) in an ABA-dependent manner, and the ABA content is substantially in-creased. ULS1 and ULS2 are mainly expressed in the guard cells and aging leaves, and the ex-pression is induced by ABA. Further RNA-seq and quantitative proteomics of ubiquitination reveal that ABA transporter ABCG40 is highly expressed in uls1/uls2 mutant versus WT, though it is not the direct target of ULS1/2. Finally, we show that the acceleration of leaf senescence, the increase of leaf ABA content, and the promotion of stomatal closure in uls1/usl2 mutant are suppressed by abcg40 loss-of-function mutation. These results indicate that ULS1 and ULS2 function in feedback inhibition of ABCG40-dependent ABA transport during ABA-induced leaf senescence and sto-matal closure.
