AtDGCR14L contributes to salt-stress tolerance via regulating pre-mRNA splicing in Arabidopsis
In plants, pre-mRNA alternative splicing has been demonstrated to be a crucial tier that regulates gene expression in response to salt stress. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we studied the roles of DIGEORGE-SYNDROME CRITICAL REGION 14-like (AtDGCR14L) in regulating pre-mRNA splicing and salt stress tolerance. We discovered that Arabidopsis AtDGCR14L is required for maintaining plant salt stress tolerance and the constitutively spliced and active isoforms of important stress- and/or abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive genes. We also identified the interaction between AtDGCR14L and splicing factor U1-70k, which needs a highly conserved three amino acid (TWG) motif in DGCR14. Different from wild-type AtDGCR14L, the overexpression of the TWG-substituted AtDGCR14L mutant did not change salt stress tolerance or pre-mRNA splicing of stress/ABA-responsive genes. Additionally, SWITCH3A (SWI3A) is a core subunit of the SWI/SUCROSE NONFERMENTING (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling complexes. We found that SWI3A, whose splicing depends on AtDGCR14L, actively enhances salt stress tolerance. These results revealed that AtDGCR14L may play an essential role in crosstalk between plant salt-stress response and pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms. We also unveiled the potential role of SWI3A in controlling salt stress tolerance. The TWG motif in the intrinsically disordered region of AtDGCR14L is highly conserved and crucial for DGCR14 functions.
