Endoreduplication plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation, but the mechanisms regulating endoreduplication are still elusive. We have previously reported that UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE14 (UBP14) encoded by DA3 interacts with ULTRAVIOLETB INSENSITIVE4 (UVI4) to influence endoreduplication and cell growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The da3-1 mutant possesses larger cotyledons and flowers with higher ploidy levels than the wild-type. Here, we identify the suppressor of da3-1 (SUPPRESSOR OF da3-1 3; SUD3), which encodes SNW/SKI-INTERACTING PROTEIN (SKIP). Biochemical studies demonstrate that SUD3 physically interacts with UBP14/DA3 and UVI4 in vivo and in vitro. Genetic analyses support that SUD3 acts in a common pathway with UBP14/DA3 and UVI4 to control endoreduplication. Our findings reveal an important genetic and molecular mechanism by which SKIP/SUD3 associates with UBP14/DA3 and UVI4 to modulate endoreduplication.
内复制在细胞生长和分化中起着重要作用,但调节内复制的机制仍难以捉摸。我们之前曾报道过,由 DA3 编码的泛素特异性蛋白酶 14(UBP14)与 ULTRAVIOLETB INSENSITIVE4(UVI4)相互作用,影响拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)的内复制和细胞生长。da3-1 突变体的子叶和花比野生型更大,具有更高的倍性水平。在这里,我们鉴定了 da3-1 的抑制子(SUPPRESSOR OF da3-1 3;SUD3),它编码 SNW/SKI-INTERACTING PROTEIN(SKIP)。生化研究表明,SUD3 在体内和体外与 UBP14/DA3 和 UVI4 物理相互作用。遗传分析支持 SUD3 与 UBP14/DA3 和 UVI4 共同作用,控制内复制。我们的研究结果揭示了一个重要的遗传和分子机制,即 SKIP/SUD3 与 UBP14/DA3 和 UVI4 结合,调节内复制。
