Proteasome regulator 1 (PTRE1), a positive regulator of proteasome activity, has been implicated in auxin-mediated proteasome suppression; however, the mechanism by which auxin modulates PTRE1 function remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that auxin promotes the interaction between germin-like protein 1 (GLP1) and PTRE1, facilitating PTRE1 retention at the plasma membrane. The relocation of PTRE1 results in reduced nuclear 26S proteasome activity, and thus the attenuated Aux/IAA degradation and altered Aux/IAA homeostasis, ultimately resulting in suppressed auxin-mediated transcriptional regulation. Our findings uncover a previously uncharacterized regulatory axis in auxin signaling that controls Aux/IAA protein stability, functioning alongside the TIR1- and TRANSMEMBRANE KINASE 1 (TMK1)-mediated pathways, and highlight the coordination of auxin signaling from the cell surface to the nucleus via auxin-induced PTRE1 relocation, which fine-tunes Aux/IAA protein homeostasis and auxin responses."}],"volume":44,"OA_place":"publisher","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","tmp":{"short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)"},"title":"Germin-like protein 1 interacts with proteasome regulator 1 to regulate auxin signaling by controlling Aux/IAA homeostasis","date_updated":"2025-08-05T06:17:24Z","doi":"10.1016/j.celrep.2025.116056","oa_version":"Published Version","issue":"8","year":"2025","publication":"Cell Reports","acknowledgement":"The study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC; 32230011, 91954206, and 31721001).
