Abstract
Cryptochromes and phytochromes are the major photosensory receptors in plants and often regulate similar photomorphogenic responses. The molecular mechanisms underlying functional interactions of cryptochromes and phytochromes remain largely unclear. We have identified an Arabidopsis photomorphogenic mutant, sub1 , which exhibits hypersensitive responses to blue light and far-red light. Genetic analyses indicate that SUB1 functions as a component of a cryptochrome signaling pathway and as a modulator of a phytochrome signaling pathway. The SUB1 gene encodes a Ca 2+ -binding protein that suppresses light-dependent accumulation of the transcription factor HY5.

- Arabidopsis mutants that showed short hypocotyls in blue light (3 μmol m −2 s −1 ) but not in red light (4 μmol m −2 s −1 ) were isolated and investigated. All the data shown here are derived from sub1-1 which was isolated from a T-DNA–tagged population of Ws background (NASC Nottingham UK). A cosegregation of sub1-1 and T-DNA was established in the F 2 and F 3 of a cross between sub1-1 and the wild type. To prepare double mutants sub1-1 was crossed to cry2-1 (12) cry1-304 (14) phyB-211 (14) and phyA-9 (from M. M. Neff and J. Chory). The T-DNA–flanking genomic regions of sub1-1 were isolated by TAIL-PCR (32) and inverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods (33) and sequenced. SUB1 is located in the BAC clone BAC32A17 and mapped to 24.2 cM of chromosome 4. The GenBank accession numbers are ( SUB1 ) ( SUL1 ) and ( SUL2 ) (www.arabidopsis.org/). Sequence alignments and presentation were made using ClustalW (www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/SearchLauncher/) and BoxShade (www.ch.embnet.org/software/BOX_form.html) respectively. For the results of SUB1 expression and transgenic rescue of the sub1 mutant supplementary material is available on Science Online at www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/291/5503/487/DC1. The SUB1 coding region corresponding to residues 267 to 552 of the SUB1 translation product (SUB1c) was amplified by PCR expressed purified from Escherichia coli and used to raise polyclonal antibodies against SUB1. The 45 Ca 2+ overlay calcium-binding assay was as described (31 34). Light sources hypocotyl measurement genetic and transgenic analyses RNA blot immunoblot and GUS fusion protein cellular localization analyses were as described (12 14 21 22 35).
