Table 2.

E3 ligases with unidentified targets that are known to regulate ABA responses. The original references are provided next to the E3 ligase; however, this table is a compilation of the tables from several earlier reviews [6,7,12,99,100], as well as new data that were not previously reviewed.

E3 Family E3 Ligase [Reference] Influence on ABA Response/Remarks
RING-type ATL61 [101] Positive regulator in the ABA-mediated drought stress response
SCF ARKP1 [102] Positive role in ABA signaling network; mutants displaying reduced ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination, root elongation, and water loss rate of detached leaves
RING-type CHYR1/RZP34 [103] Promotes ABA-induced stomatal closure, reactive oxygen species production, and plant drought tolerance; activity is regulated by SnRK2.6
RING-type SINA2 [104] Regulates plant responses to ABA and osmotic stress; activity is regulated by CDKG1 (cyclin-dependent kinase G1)
RING-type AtPPRT1 [105,106] Negative role in ABA and drought stress responses
RING-type AtARRE/ATL27 [107] Negative regulation in ABA signaling
BTB-type BPH1 [108] Negatively involved in ABA-mediated cellular events; mutation caused delayed seed germination in response to ABA and resulted in hyper-induction of a large portion of ABA-inducible genes in response to ABA; mutants exhibited enhanced stomatal closure under ABA application and reduced water loss
RING-type JUL1 [109] ABA-mediated microtubule disorganization; regulates stomatal closure, and tolerance to drought stress
RING-type COP1 [110] ABA-mediated microtubule disorganization, stomatal closure
RING-type RDUF1/2 [111] Negatively regulates ABA signaling
RING-type RHA2a/2b [112,113] Positively regulates ABA signaling
RING-type AIRP4 [114] Positively regulates ABA signaling
SCF TLP3/9 [115] Positively regulates ABA signaling
RING-type ATL43 [116] Positively regulates ABA signaling
RING-type CER9 [117] Negatively regulates ABA signaling
U-box PUB9 [118] Negatively regulates ABA signaling
U-box PUB18/19 [119,120] Negatively regulates plant drought response and ABA signaling
SCF DOR [121] Negatively regulates ABA signaling
SCF EDL3 [122] Positive regulator in seed germination and root growth; positively regulates ABA signaling
SCF MAX2 [123] Negatively regulates plant drought stress response through mediating ABA signaling; negatively regulates ABA signaling
DDB DWA3 [124] Negatively regulates ABA signaling; mutants exhibited ABA-hypersensitivity
U-box PUB44/SAUL1 [125] Negatively regulates ABA signaling
RING-type XERICO [126] Positively regulates ABA-dependent drought response; overexpression leads to ABA over-accumulation
SCF FOF2 [127] Plays an important negative role in ABA-mediated seed germination and early seedling development, as well as a positive role in ABA-mediated drought tolerance
