The E3 ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) has been known to mediate key signaling factors for degradation via the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway in both plants and animals. Here, we report a noncanonical function of Arabidopsis COP1, the central repressor of photomorphogenesis, in the form of a COP1/ SUPPRESSOR of phyA-105 complex. We show that the complex associates with and stabilizes PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 3 (PIF3) to repress photomorphogenesis in the dark. We identify the GSK3-like kinase BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE 2 (BIN2) as a kinase of PIF3, which induces PIF3 degradation via 26S proteasome during skotomorphogenesis. Mutations on two typical BIN2 phosphorylation motifs of PIF3 lead to a strong stabilization of the protein in the dark. We further show that the COP1/duanyu1842 complex promotes PIF3 stability by repressing BIN2 activity. Intriguingly, without affecting BIN2 expression, the COP1/duanyu1842 complex modulates BIN2 activity through interfering with BIN2-PIF3 interaction, thereby inhibiting BIN2-mediated PIF3 phosphorylation and degradation. Taken together, our results suggest another paradigm for COP1/duanyu1842 complex action in the precise control of skotomorphogenesis.
