The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in plant growth and development. The function of ABA is mediated by a group of newly discovered ABA receptors, named PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE 1/PYR-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORs (PYR1/PYLs/RCARs). Here, we report that an Arabidopsis thaliana F-box protein RCAR3 INTERACTING F-BOX PROTEIN 1 (RIFP1) interacts with ABA receptor (RCAR3) and SCF E3 ligase complex subunits Arabidopsis SKP1-LIKE PROTEINs (ASKs) in vitro and in vivo. The rifp1 mutant plants displayed increased ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination and water loss of detached leaves, while the overexpression of RIFP1 in Arabidopsis led to plants being insensitive to ABA. Meanwhile, the rifp1 mutant plants showed greater tolerance to water deficit. In addition, the RCAR3 protein level was more stable in the rifp1 mutant plants than in the wild-type plants, indicating that RIFP1 facilitates the proteasome degradation of RCAR3. Accordingly, the loss of RIFP1 increased the transcript levels of several ABA-responsive genes. Taken together, these data indicate that RIFP1 plays a negative role in the RCAR3-mediated ABA signalling pathway and likely functions as an adaptor subunit of the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex to regulate ABA receptor RCAR3 stability.In this manuscript, an Arabidopsis gene encodes an F-box protein RCAR3 INTERACTING F-BOX PROTEIN 1 (RIFP1) was identified. RIFP1 interacted with ABA receptor (RCAR3) and SCF E3 ligase complex subunits ASKs in vitro and in vivo. Our analysis indicated that RCAR3 protein level was more stable in the rifp1 mutant plants than that in the wild type plants, indicating that RIFP1 facilitates the proteasome degradation of RCAR3. The ABA related phenotypes of rifp1 T-DNA mutant and transgenic RIFP1-overexpression plants also indicated that RIFP1 plays a negative role in the RCAR3 mediated ABA cascade. Hence, RIFP1 likely functions as an adaptor subunit of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex to regulate ABA receptor RCAR3 stability.
