Reconstitution of phytochrome A-mediated light modulation of the ABA signaling pathways in yeast.

ABSTRACT: Abscisic acid (ABA), a classical plant hormone, plays an essential role in plant adaptation to environmental stresses. The ABA signaling mechanisms have been extensively investigated, and it was shown that the PYR1 (PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1)/PYL (PYR1-LIKE)/RCAR (REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ABA RECEPTOR) ABA receptors, the PP2C coreceptors, and the SnRK2 protein kinases constitute the core ABA signaling module responsible for ABA perception and initiation of downstream responses. We recently showed that ABA signaling is modulated by light signals, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely obscure. In this study, we established a system in yeast cells that was not only successful in reconstituting a complete ABA signaling pathway, from hormone perception to ABA-responsive gene expres
