LEAFY homeostasis is regulated via ubiquitin-dependent degradation and sequestration in cytoplasmic condensates

Résumé

The transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) plays crucial roles in flower development by activating floral homeotic genes. Activation of LFY targets requires the combined action of LFY and the E3 ubiquitin ligase UFO, although the precise underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that LFY accumulates in biomolecular condensates within the cytoplasm, while recombinant LFY forms condensates with similar properties in vitro. UFO interacts with LFY within these condensates and marks it for degradation. LFY levels in the nucleus are buffered against changes in total LFY levels induced by proteasome inhibition, UFO overexpression, or mutation of lysine residues in a disordered region of LFY. Perturbation of cytoplasmic LFY condensates by 1,6-hexanediol treatment induces the relocalization of LFY to the nucleus and the subsequent activation of the LFY target AP3 in flowers. Our data suggest that nucleocytoplasmic partitioning, condensation, and ubiquitin-dependent degradation regulate LFY levels in the nucleus to control its activity.
