Summary The regulatory interactions between AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS (ARFs) and Aux/IAA repressors play a central role in auxin signal transduction. Yet, the systems properties of this regulatory network are not well established. We generated a steroid-inducible ARF/MONOPTEROS (MP) transgenic background to survey the involvement of this factor in the transcriptional regulation of the entire Aux/IAA family in Arabidopsis thaliana. Target genes of ARF/MP identified by this approach were confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation, in vitro gel retardation assays and gene expression analyses. Our study shows that ARF/MP is indispensable for the correct regulation of nearly one-half of all Aux/IAA genes, and that these targets coincide with distinct subclades. Further, genetic analyses demonstrate that the protein products of multiple Aux/IAA targets negatively feed back onto ARF/MP activity. This work indicates that ARF/MP broadly influences the expression of the Aux/IAA gene family, and suggests that such regulation involves the activation of specific subsets of redundantly functioning factors. These groups of factors may then act together to control various processes within the plant through negative feedback on ARF. Similar detailed analyses of other Aux/IAA ARF regulatory modules will be required to fully understand how auxin signal transduction influences virtually every aspect of plant growth and development. Introduction The phytohormone auxin regulates numerous aspects of plant growth, including cell division and elongation, the response to environmental stimuli and tissue patterning (Vanneste & Friml, 9). Many of these processes require coordinated cell-to-cell movement of auxin to form concentration gradients that direct cell behavior and/or fate changes (Vanneste & Friml, 9). Auxin is perceived by members of the TIR1 F-box family of receptors, whose activities affect the composition of transcription factor complexes that control auxin-responsive gene expression (Chapman & Estelle, 9). The AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS (ARFs), of which there are 3 in Arabidopsis, contain a B3-type DNA-binding domain (DBD) that recognizes cis-acting Auxin Response Elements (AuxREs) of target genes. Downstream of the DBD is a weakly conserved central region (which functions in either transcriptional activation or repression) and two conserved dimerization domains, III and IV, the structural nature of which has recently been determined (Korasick et al., 1; Nanao et al., 1). Gene regulation is best understood for activating ARFs and, in the current model, ARFs are physically bound and antagonized by Aux/ IAA repressor proteins (9 members in Arabidopsis) (Guilfoyle & Hagen, 1). Shared domains III and IV facilitate Aux/IAA ARF dimerization, whereas Aux/IAA-mediated antagonism of ARF activity is conferred by transcriptional repression domain I. Binding of auxin to TIR1 proteins promotes their association with Aux/IAA domain II, resulting in targeted degradation of the repressor and liberation of activator ARFs to promote auxinresponsive transcription. Among these targets appear to be the Aux/ 7 New Phytologist (1) : 7 3 Ó 1 The Authors New Phytologist Ó 1 New Phytologist Trust

Genetic approaches to assign specific roles to individual ARFs and Aux/IAAs have been hindered by apparent functional redundancies among the numerous members of each family (Chapman & Estelle, 9). Details of Aux/IAA roles have mainly come from dominant domain II mutations that stabilize the resulting protein, whereas only a few ARFs have been characterized by lossof-function alleles (Woodward & Bartel, ). This includes the activating ARF MONOPTEROS (MP)/ARF, which regulates organ formation and auxin-inducible responses throughout Arabidopsis development (Hardtke & Berleth, 199). More recently, gain-of-function constructs and searches for transcriptional targets have been used to reveal functions masked by genetic redundancy (Scacchi et al., 1; Krogan et al., 1; De Rybel et al., 13). Although a basic outline of auxin-inducible transcription has been established, the regulatory properties of individual ARF and Aux/IAA proteins are only beginning to emerge. For example, the auxin inducibilities and expression profiles of Aux/IAAs are highly divergent (Abel et al., 199) and the identities of their individual regulators are largely unknown. To simulate the systems properties of the Aux/IAA ARF network, it will be necessary to establish a precise matrix of regulatory interactions between specific members of both families and to demonstrate the directness and in vivo relevance of such interactions. As a first step towards understanding which Aux/IAA genes are controlled by individual ARFs in different parts of the plant, we have used a variety of strategies to determine the suite of Aux/IAA genes directly regulated by MP. Materials and Methods Plant material and growth conditions Unless stated otherwise, Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh seeds were plated and plants were grown as described previously (Hardtke et al., ). The mutant alleles used were mpg1 (Hardtke & Berleth, 199), nph-1 (Harper et al., ), axr-1 (Yang et al., ) and msg-3 (Tatematsu et al., ). Dexamethasone (DEX) treatment for induction of MP GR (glucocorticoid receptor) was 3 lm DEX and 1% (v/v) Silwet L-77. For mp nph MP::MP-GR quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), dissected 1 d after germination (DAG) vegetative shoot apical meristems (SAMs) or 9 DAG roots (Supporting Information Fig. S1) were incubated for h in liquid media treatments with or without 1% (v/v) Silwet L-77. Transgene construction To make MP::MP-GR, the hormone-binding domain of GR was amplified by PCR and inserted in-frame into an AflII site at the 3 end of the MP open reading frame (ORF) surrounded by noncoding sequence (Fig. 1a). MP::MP-GUS has been described previously (Vidaurre et al., 7). To make Aux/IAA transcriptional reporter genes, 191, 7, 1 and 19 bp upstream of Ó 1 The Authors New Phytologist Ó 1 New Phytologist Trust the translational start codons of IAA1, IAA19, IAA and IAA9, respectively, were fused to the b-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR A SuperScript first-strand synthesis system (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada) was used for reverse transcription of total RNA samples. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR on cdna template employed an MyiQ Single-Color Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Data analysis, including threshold cycle (C t ) determination, was performed by accompanying Optical System Software. Thermocycling conditions were 9 C for 9 s, followed by cycles of 9 C for 3 s, C for 3 s and 7 C for 3 s. Absence of non-specific amplification and primer dimers was verified by melting curve analysis and electrophoresis of final reactions. Standard curves were generated for each primer pair using serial template dilutions, and amplification efficiencies (E) were calculated according to the formula E = 1 ( 1/ slope) (Pfaffl, 1). Relative induction ratios (R) ofaux/iaas normalized against ACT7 were calculated using the equation: R ¼ðE Aux=IAA Þ DC t Aux=IAA ðcontrol sampleþ =ðe ACT7 Þ DC t ACT7 ðcontrol sampleþ (Pfaffl, 1). Primer sequences are provided in Supporting Information Table S1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) ChIP experiments on 1 DAG MP::MP-HA (Weijers et al., ) seedling tissue was performed as described previously (Gomez-Mena et al., ) with minor modifications. IP buffer was modified to contain 1 mm HEPES (ph 7.), mm NaCl, 1 lm ZnSO, 1% Triton X-1 and.% sodium deoxycholate. Samples were pre-cleared with protein A-agarose, and 3 ll anti-igg antibody was added to mock samples, whereas 3 ll anti-ha (hemagglutinin) antibody (Roche Diagnostics, Laval, QC, Canada) was added to test IP samples. Protein A- agarose beads (Roche Diagnostics) were added to both samples and, following incubation and centrifugation, were washed twice with Lysis buffer ( mm HEPES (ph 7.), 1 mm NaCl, 1 mm EDTA, 1% Triton X-1 and.1% sodium deoxycholate), twice with Wash buffer (1 mm Tris-HCl (ph ), mm LiCl,.% NP-,.% sodium deoxycholate and 1 mm EDTA) and once with TE (1 mm Tris-HCl (ph ) and 1 mm EDTA). Elution was performed with TE and 1% SDS incubated at C overnight, followed by a 37 C incubation in the presence of lgml 1 proteinase K. Isolated DNA was purified by phenol/chloroform extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation. DNA was resuspended in 1 ll water and ll of each sample were used as template in quantitative PCR. Primer sequences are given in Table S. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) The purification of His-MP(3) protein and its use in EMSA experiments have been described previously (Scacchi et al., 1). New Phytologist (1) : 7 3

The prokaryotic control protein containing an amino-terminal His-tag was prephenate dehydrogenase (gift from S. Singh, University of Toronto, Canada). Microtechniques and microscopy Analysis of GUS activity was as described by Scarpella et al. () with modifications (Table S3a,b). Results and Discussion Post-translational regulation of MP activity The expression of most Aux/IAA genes is rapidly auxin responsive, and their promoters often contain multiple conserved AuxRE binding sites (Chapman & Estelle, 9). To detect potential direct regulation of Aux/IAA genes by a specific ARF with genetically characterized functions, we fused the hormone-binding domain of the mammalian GR to MP, and expressed it under its natural promoter in mp mutant Arabidopsis plants (mp MP::MP- GR) (Fig. 1). In this context, the MP fusion protein enters the nucleus and regulates transcription only on exposure to a glucocorticoid steroid, such as DEX (Wang et al., 3). As shown in Fig. 1, untreated mp MP::MP-GR plants are indistinguishable from mp mutants. On DEX application at any stage, structures missing in mp mutants are instantly generated, and subsequent development becomes indistinguishable from the wildtype (Fig. 1b e). Importantly, DEX-treated mp MP::MP-GR plants do not show defects associated with MP mis- or overexpression (Hardtke et al., ). We conclude that the mp MP::MP-GR genetic background offers a post-translational switch between the absence of MP activity and approximately wild-type MP dosage. Therefore, as described below, this inducible background was used to determine which Aux/IAA genes are regulated by MP in different tissue types. A matrix of MP-regulated Aux/IAA genes Expression and genetic data indicate that MP acts predominantly in embryos, meristems and organ primordia (Hardtke & Berleth, 199). Further, in these locations, MP acts redundantly with at least one other ARF, NPH/ARF7 (Hardtke et al., ). MP masks NPH function, but, in the absence of MP activity, residual auxin signal transduction through NPH dampens the severity of the mutant phenotype. We confirmed this genetic relationship by completely normalizing the extreme phenotype of the mp nph double mutant through DEX induction of MP-GR (Fig. S1). In order to capture the full extent of MP-mediated gene regulatory input, we used RNA selectively isolated from pooled SAM or root tissue (with associated organ primordia) of mp nph MP::MP-GR plants in a gene-by-gene quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis. In three replicates, we observed strong and reproducible transcript abundances for all but two (IAA1, IAA1) Aux/IAA genes (Fig. ). Consistent with MP being subject to negative regulation by Aux/ IAA proteins (Tiwari et al., ), gene induction was strongest in Ó 1 The Authors New Phytologist Ó 1 New Phytologist Trust the absence of protein synthesis (Fig. a, A, C, D vs A, D ). Remarkably, of the 7 assessed Aux/IAAs, approximately one-half (IAA1 IAA, IAA11, IAA13, IAA19, IAA, IAA9 IAA31)were directly upregulated 3- to 3-fold on MP activation (Fig. a,b, A, C, D vs A, C ). Further, in each case, this upregulation occurred in both the shoot and root (Fig. a,b). Notably, MP dependence of Aux/IAA expression correlated with gene phylogeny (summarized in Fig. S). For instance, strong MP dependence was displayed by all members of three previously characterized groups: IAA1 IAA; IAA, IAA, IAA19; and IAA, IAA3, IAA31 (Liscum & Reed, ; Remington et al., ; Overvoorde et al., ). In addition, expression of the phylogenetically solitary gene IAA9 was also very strongly dependent on MP. To gain an insight into the function of IAA9, we analyzed the expression profile conferred by its promoter. We observed staining in the vasculature of cotyledons, leaves, hypocotyl and root (including in the columella) (Fig. S3a d), closely resembling MP distribution (Fig. Sa). Together with exhibiting a dependence on MP for appropriate expression (Fig. S3e), IAA9::GUS displayed auxin responsiveness (Fig. S3f, g). In summary, these analyses indicate that MP directly regulates nearly one-half of all Aux/IAA genes, and that this regulation affects identical sets of genes in shoots and roots. Remarkably, these genes belong to specific Aux/IAA clades, each comprising genes with apparently overlapping functions (Overvoorde et al., ). In vivo and in vitro binding of MP to Aux/IAA upstream regulatory regions To assess whether MP directly binds the promoters of presumptive target genes, we performed ChIP on MP::MP- HA seedling tissue using an anti-ha antibody. At least one consensus AuxRE ( -TGTCTC-3 ) was found within 1 bp upstream of the translational start codon of the tested potential targets (Fig. 3a). As shown in Fig. 3(b), specific AuxREs in the promoters of most target genes were enriched in ChIP samples (between - and 13-fold). This was in contrast with AuxREcontaining promoter elements of IAA and IAA (Fig. S), which were not enriched above the levels of other elements used as negative controls. Because our binding site confirmation was restricted to a 1 bp upstream interval, it is not surprising that MP binding sites of a small subset of target genes could not be confirmed. For example, it is possible that the responsiveness of IAA and IAA to MP-GR activation is mediated through non-consensus AuxREs in the immediate upstream regions or through consensus AuxREs more remotely located, including those in introns. The fact that the perfectly conserved AuxREs in the promoters of IAA and IAA were not enriched in MP immunoprecipitated samples stresses the authenticity of the other reproducibly identified binding sites. Such in vivo binding sites are expected to be context dependent and not a mere reflection of the conservation of consensus AuxRE elements. MP truncations lacking dimerization domains III and IV appear to act as irrepressibly active variants of MP in plant development New Phytologist (1) : 7 3

These results are in agreement with MP directly regulating Aux/IAA genes, and confirm that ARF domains III and IV are not required for binding site recognition. (b) (c) In planta expression of MP target genes Because our MP-GR transgene is driven by the genuine MP promoter, and because our expression data were derived from isolated tissues with high MP activity, we believe that the identified Aux/IAA genes are genuine downstream targets of MP in plant development. To gain support for this idea, we compared published Aux/IAA expression patterns with the distribution of a functional MP::MP-GUS reporter, which is expressed predominantly in the vasculature of cotyledons, hypocotyl and root (Fig. Sa) (Vidaurre et al., 7). The expression patterns of many Aux/IAA genes putatively targeted by MP have been studied at tissue-specific resolution, and these show overlap with MP distribution in organ vasculature (Tatematsu et al., ; Weijers et al., ). To further increase the resolution of this analysis, we assessed in detail whether the expression profiles of IAA1, IAA19 and IAA, representing three different Aux/IAA subclades (Liscum & Reed, ; Remington et al., ; Overvoorde et al., ), were consistent with being regulated by MP. As illustrated in Fig. S, the GUS expression profiles of IAA1, IAA19 and IAA matched expectations with regard to their spatio-temporal distribution during development and their auxin inducibility.

Ó 1 The Authors New Phytologist Ó 1 New Phytologist Trust MP target genes antagonize MP activity It is possible that MP triggers the expression of specific Aux/IAA target genes because their corresponding protein products negatively feed back on MP function through dimerization. Auxinmediated degradation of Aux/IAAs activates MP, ensuring concomitant transcriptional upregulation of the respective Aux/ IAA genes. This restores the original Aux/IAA protein abundance and returns the system to its ground state after an auxin pulse. This type of antagonistic genetic interaction with MP has been established for only one Aux/IAA, namely BDL/IAA1 (Hardtke et al., ; Weijers et al., ; Lau et al., 11). We therefore analyzed the antagonistic relationships between MP and one Aux/ IAA gene from each clade identified as being MP regulated (IAA1, IAA19 and IAA). Gain-of-function mutations in AXR/IAA1 and MSG/IAA19 which stabilize the corresponding gene products oppose auxin-responsive shortening of hypocotyls on germination in the dark (Figs a,b, S) (Tatematsu et al., ; Yang et al., ), whereas ubiquitously expressed MP mediates hypocotyl shortening in response to auxin (Hardtke et al., ). As shown in Fig., overexpression of MP restores auxin sensitivity in hypocotyls of both Aux/IAA mutants. Further, plants overexpressing IAA show features of mp mutants, such as decreased vascular patterning in lateral organs (Fig. c) (Sato & Yamamoto, ). A protein variant of MP believed to operate independently of Aux/IAA repression (Krogan et al., 1) can overcome the effect of IAA overexpression, resulting in increased lateral organ vascularization New Phytologist (1) : 7 3
9 Research Rapid report New Phytologist (Fig. c). Collectively, our data demonstrate that auxin-responsive processes, such as hypocotyl growth and vascular development, are antagonistically regulated through the relative abundance of an ARF vs the protein abundance of its transcriptional target genes. Thus, our data provide new examples of circuit regulatory modules between specific ARF and Aux/IAA genes, which include Aux/IAA transcriptional regulation. It is unlikely that such regulatory interactions are restricted to the cases described here. Beyond these three genes, others have been shown to interfere with traits that are promoted by MP activity. For example, the target gene IAA13 has been reported to interfere with embryonic root formation, similar to its close relative IAA1 (Weijers et al., ). Further, like IAA, overexpression of the target genes IAA3 and IAA31 results in reduced leaf vasculature (Sato & Yamamoto, ). Together, these findings suggest that it is common for an individual ARF to transcriptionally activate the genes whose protein products repress its activity. Natural developmental target genes The identification of direct target genes of transcription factors using their post-translationally regulated derivatives is well established in plants (Wang et al., 3). However, although many studies have used strong constitutive promoters to drive GR fusion gene expression, the work presented here employed the natural regulatory sequences of MP (Fig. 1a). Phenotypic assays confirmed that MP activity was supplied in approximately natural dosage and distribution, suggesting that affected transcripts represented authentic MP targets. The authenticity of identified target genes was confirmed by in vivo binding assays in many cases. Where tested, auxin-responsive expression patterns overlapped with MP, further supporting their roles as MP target genes. The participation of MP in the regulation of a large fraction of all Aux/IAA genes does not diminish the roles of other ARFs. An Aux/ IAA gene may be regulated by a number of ARFs, as these are expressed in distinct domains and have been shown to act redundantly as well as non-redundantly (Hardtke et al., ; Okushima et al., ; Rademacher et al., 11), and may function in transcriptional regulation as ARF ARF heterodimers. Our saturating survey implicated MP in the regulation of approximately one-half of the Aux/IAAs, which is consistent with diverse Aux/IAA-controlled processes (ranging from organ initiation to the control of differential growth) being dependent on MP (Hardtke & Berleth, 199). The MP targets IAA1 and IAA19 have been implicated in auxin-mediated hypocotyl elongation, a trait that is affected by MP activity (Hardtke et al., ; Tatematsu et al., ; Yang et al., ). Moreover, MP function appears to focus on specific Aux/IAA subclades, potentially representing distinct processes, each controlled by redundantly acting Aux/IAAs (Overvoorde et al., ). From this, we propose that MP constitutes a critical component in a large portion of all Aux/IAAregulating transcriptional complexes. Within these, other proteins, including other ARFs, may confer specificity, distinguishing individual subclades. A role for MP in the regulation of Aux/IAAs is also suggested by the fact that the induction of many Aux/IAAs by cycloheximide (CHX) was far weaker in the absence of MP New Phytologist (1) : 7 3 activity (Fig. a, A, C vs A, C, D ). CHX-mediated activation of auxin-inducible genes has long suggested the existence of labile proteins, presumably the Aux/IAA proteins themselves, repressing activating transcription factors (Guilfoyle & Hagen, 1). Following this interpretation, the dependence on MP for CHXmediated induction of Aux/IAA transcripts implicates MP as a central, normally repressed transcriptional activator in this network.
