Mechanisms of UV-B light-induced photoreceptor UVR8 nuclear localization dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Light regulates the subcellular localization of plant photoreceptors, a key step in light signaling. Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) induces the plant photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) nuclear accumulation, where it regulates photomorphogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism for the UV-B-regulated UVR8 nuclear localization dynamics is unknown. With fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), cell fractionation followed by immunoblotting and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays we tested the function of UVR8-interacting proteins including CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), REPRESSOR OF UV-B PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS 1 (RUP1) and RUP2 in the regulation of UVR8 nuclear dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana. We showed that UV-B-induced rapid UVR8 nuclear translocation is independ
