Functions of COP1/SPA E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Mediated by MpCRY in the Liverwort <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> under Blue Light

COP1/SPA1 complex in <i>Arabidopsis</i> inhibits photomorphogenesis through the ubiquitination of multiple photo-responsive transcription factors in darkness, but such inhibiting function of COP1/SPA1 complex would be suppressed by cryptochromes in blue light. Extensive studies have been...

description COP1/SPA1 complex in <i>Arabidopsis</i> inhibits photomorphogenesis through the ubiquitination of multiple photo-responsive transcription factors in darkness, but such inhibiting function of COP1/SPA1 complex would be suppressed by cryptochromes in blue light. Extensive studies have been conducted on these mechanisms in <i>Arabidopsis</i> whereas little attention has been focused on whether another branch of land plants bryophyte utilizes this blue-light regulatory pathway. To study this problem, we conducted a study in the liverwort <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> and obtained a MpSPA knock-out mutant, in which Mp<i>spa</i> exhibits the phenotype of an increased percentage of individuals with asymmetrical thallus growth, similar to MpCRY knock-out mutant. We also verified interactions of MpSPA with MpCRY (in a blue light-independent way) and with MpCOP1. Concomitantly, both MpSPA and MpCOP1 could interact with MpHY5, and MpSPA can promote MpCOP1 to ubiquitinate MpHY5 but MpCRY does not regulate the ubiquitination of MpHY5 by MpCOP1/MpSPA complex. These data suggest that COP1/SPA ubiquitinating HY5 is conserved in <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i>, but dissimilar to CRY in <i>Arabidopsis</i>, MpCRY is not an inhibitor of this process under blue light.
