description The ubiquitination pathway has been found to regulate plant responses to environmental stress. However, the role of E3 ubiquitin ligase in desiccation tolerant moss has not yet been elucidated. Previous research has shown that the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling factor ScABI3 can significantly increase desiccation tolerance and reduce ABA sensitivity in the desert moss <i>Syntrichia caninervis</i>. In this study, we identified a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, ScPRT1, and showed that ScABI3 can directly interact with ScPRT1 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we found that the high expression of <i>ScPRT1</i> can interfere with the transcription of <i>ScABI3</i> under ABA treatment. Therefore, we speculate that ScPRT1 may degrade ScABI3 through the ubiquitin-26S proteasome system and participate in ABA-dependent signaling in response to ABA-insensitivity or desiccation tolerance in <i>S. caninervis</i>. The findings from our study may enrich our knowledge of the role of E3 ubiquitin ligase in desiccation tolerance and lay a theoretical foundation for an in-depth study of the relationship between ubiquitination modification and ABA signal transduction under environmental stress.
