YUCCA2 (YUC2)-Mediated 3-Indoleacetic Acid (IAA) Biosynthesis Regulates Chloroplast RNA Editing by Relieving the Auxin Response Factor 1 (ARF1)-Dependent Inhibition of Editing Factors in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Although recent research progress on the abundant C-to-U RNA editing events in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria has uncovered many recognition factors and their molecular mechanisms, the intrinsic regulation of RNA editing within plants remains largely unknown. This study aimed to establish a regulatory relationship in Arabidopsis between the plant hormone auxin and chloroplast RNA editing. We first analyzed auxin response elements (AuxREs) present within promoters of chloroplast editing factors reported to date. We found that each has more than one AuxRE, suggesting a potential regulatory role of auxin in their expression. Further investigation unveiled that the depletion of auxin synthesis gene YUC2 reduces the expression of several editing factors. However, in yuc2</
