MYC2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that cross talks with light, abscisic acid (ABA), and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathways. Here, we have shown that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) MYC2 directly binds to the G-box present in the SUPPRESSOR OF PHYTOCHROME A1 (SPA1) promoter and that it controls the expression of SPA1 in a COP1-dependent manner. Analyses of atmyc2 spa1 double mutants suggest that whereas MYC2 and SPA1 act redundantly to suppress photomorphogenic growth in the dark, they function synergistically for the suppression of photomorphogenic growth in the light. Our studies have also revealed that MYC2-mediated ABA and JA responses are further modulated by SPA1. Taken together, this study demonstrates the molecular and physiological interrelations of MYC2 and SPA1 in light, ABA, and JA signaling pathways.
MYC2 是一种基本的螺旋-环-螺旋转录因子,它与光、脱落酸(ABA)和茉莉酸(JA)信号通路相互作用。在这里,我们已经表明,拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)MYC2 直接结合到 SPA1 启动子中存在的 G 框,并且它以 COP1 依赖的方式控制 SPA1 的表达。对 atmyc2 spa1 双突变体的分析表明,尽管 MYC2 和 SPA1 以冗余的方式在黑暗中抑制光形态发生生长,但它们在光下协同抑制光形态发生生长。我们的研究还表明,MYC2 介导的 ABA 和 JA 反应进一步受到 SPA1 的调节。总之,这项研究证明了 MYC2 和 SPA1 在光、ABA 和 JA 信号通路中的分子和生理关系。
