Abstract

Polyamines (PAs), such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for plant growth and development. However, the post-translational regulation of PA metabolism remains unknown. Here, we report the COP9 SIGNALOSOME SUBUNIT 5A (FvCSN5A) mediates the degradation of the POLYAMINE OXIDASE 5 (FvPAO5), which catalyzes the conversion of spermidine/spermine to produce H2O2 in strawberry (Fragaria vesca). FvCSN5A is localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus, is ubiquitously expressed in strawberry plants, and is rapidly induced during fruit ripening. FvCSN5A RNA interference (RNAi) transgenic strawberry lines exhibit pleiotropic effects on plant development, fertility, and fruit ripening due to altered PA and H2O2 homeostasis, similar to FvPAO5 transgenic overexpression lines. Moreover, FvCSN5A interacts with FvPAO5 in vitro and in vivo, and the ubiquitination and degradation of FvPAO5 are impaired in FvCSN5A RNAi lines. Additionally, FvCSN5A interacts with cullin 1 (FvCUL1), a core component of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Transient genetic analysis in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) fruits showed that inhibiting FaPAO5 expression could partially rescue the ripening phenotype of FaCSN5A RNAi fruits. Taken together, our results suggest that the CSN5A-CUL1-PAO5 signaling pathway responsible for PA and H2O2 homeostasis is crucial for strawberry vegetative and reproductive growth in particular fruit ripening. Our findings present a promising strategy for improving crop yield and quality.
