Abstract
CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) plays crucial roles in various cellular processes via its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in organisms, ranging from fungi to humans. As a key component in regulating various biological events, COP1 itself is precisely controlled at multiple layers. Here, we report a negative regulator of COP1, PINOID (PID), which positively mediates photomorphogenic development. Specifically, PID genetically and physically interacts with COP1 and directly phosphorylates COP1 at Ser20. As a result, this posttranslational modification serves to repress COP1 activity and promote photomorphogenesis. Our findings signify a key regulatory mechanism for precisely maintaining COP1 activity, thereby ensuring appropriate development in plants.
