A Novel Motif Mediates the Targeting of the Arabidopsis COP1 Protein to Subnuclear Foci

From the Department of Botany, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee 37996-1100

The constitutive photomorphogenesis 1 (COP1) protein of Arabidopsis thaliana accumulates in discrete subnuclear foci. To better understand the role of subnuclear architecture in COP1-mediated gene expression, we investigated the structural motifs of COP1 that mediate its localization to subnuclear foci using mutational analysis with green fluorescent protein as a reporter. In a transient expression assay, a subnuclear localization signal consisting of 58 residues between amino acids 120 and 177 of COP1 was able to confer speckled localization onto the heterologous nuclear NIa protein from tobacco etch virus. The subnuclear localization signal overlaps two previously characterized motifs, a cytoplasmic localization signal and a putative -helical coiled-coil domain that has been implicated in COP1 dimerization. Moreover, phenotypically lethal mutations in the carboxyl-terminal WD-40 repeats inhibited localization to subnuclear foci, consistent with a functional role for the accumulation of COP1 at subnuclear sites.
