1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-induced gene expression in wild-type Col-0, mutant upl3 upl4, mutant ein3-1, and mutant upl3 upl4 ein3-1 Arabidopsis thaliana plants
The plant hormone ethylene is involved in plant developmental, stress and environmental signalling. The ethylene signalling pathway is modulated by the master transcription factor EIN3. Here we examined the involvement of proteasome-associated UPL3 and UPL4 ubiquitin ligases in ethylene-responsive gene expression. We reveal that in absence of functional UPL3 and UPL4, plants show constitutive and enhanced activation or repression of ethylene-responsive genes in an EIN3-dependent manner.  Ten-day old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings of wild-type Col-0,  mutant upl3 upl4, mutant ein3-1, and mutant upl3 upl4 ein3-1 were grown on MS media in an environmental chamber with 16/8 hour day/night light regime (120 mol m-2 s-1 light intensity) and 22 degrees Celsius. Seedlings were then transferred to 6-well plates and floated on the surface of water or 50 uM 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). After 3 hours seedlings were harvested and for each treatment ~50 seedlings were pooled together into a single biological repeat. In total three independent biological repeats were collected. After harvesting seedlings were briefly dried on tissue and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until further analysis.
