Dynamic modulation of nodulation factor receptor levels by phosphorylation-mediated functional switch of a RING-type E3 ligase during legume nodulation

The precise control of receptor levels is crucial for initiating cellular signaling transduction in response to specific ligands;however,such mechanisms regulating nodulation factor(NF)receptor(NFR)-mediated perception of NFs to establish symbiosis remain unclear.In this study,we unveil the pivotal role of the NFR-interacting RING-type E3 ligase 1(NIRE1)in regulating NFR1/NFR5 homeostasis to optimize rhizobial infection and nodule development in Lotus japonicus.We demonstrated that NIRE1 has a dual function in this regulatory process.It associates with both NFR1 and NFR5,facilitating their degradation through K48-linked polyubiquitination before rhizobial inoculation.However,following rhizobial inoculation,NFR1 phosphorylates NIRE1 ata conserved residue,Tyr-109,inducing afunctional switch in NIRE1,which enables NIRE1 to mediate K63-linked polyubiquitination,thereby stabilizing NFR1/NFR5 in infected root cells.The introduction of phospho-dead NIRE1Y109F leads to delayed nodule development,underscoring the signifi-cance of phosphorylation at Tyr-109 in orchestrating symbiotic processes.Conversely,expression of the phospho-mimic NIRE1Y109E results in the formation of spontaneous nodules in L.japonicus,further empha-sizing the critical role of the phosphorylation-dependent functional switch in NIRE1.In summary,these find-ings uncover a fine-tuned symbiotic mechanism that a single E3 ligase could undergo a phosphorylation-dependent functional switch to dynamically and precisely regulate NF receptor protein levels.
