Abscisic acid (ABA) transport plays an important role in systemic plant responses to environmental factors. However, it remains largely unclear about the precise regulation of ABA transporters in plants. In this study, we show that the C-terminally encoded peptide receptor 2 (CEPR2) directly interacts with the ABA transporter NRT1.2/NPF4.6. Genetic and phenotypic analyses revealed that NRT1.2/NPF4.6 positively regulates ABA response and that NRT1.2/NPF4.6 is epistatically and negatively regulated by CEPR2. Further biochemical assays demonstrated that CEPR2 phosphorylates NRT1.2/NPF4.6 at serine 292 to promote its degradation under normal conditions. However, ABA treatment and non-phosphorylation at serine 292 prevented the degradation of NRT1.2/NPF4.6, indicating that ABA inhibits the phosphorylation of this residue. Transport assays in yeast andXenopusoocytes revealed that non-phosphorylated NRT1.2/NPF4.6 had high levels of ABA import activity, whereas phosphorylated NRT1.2/NPF4.6 did not import ABA. Analyses of complementednrt1.2mutants that mimicked non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated NRT1.2/NPF4.6 confirmed that non-phosphorylated NRT1.2S292Ahad high stability and ABA import activityin planta. Additional experiments showed that NRT1.2/NPF4.6 was degraded via the 26S proteasome and vacuolar degradation pathways. Furthermore, we found that three E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, UBC32, UBC33, and UBC34, interact with NRT1.2/NPF4.6 in the endoplasmic reticulum and mediate its ubiquitination. NRT1.2/NPF4.6 is epistatically and negatively regulated by UBC32, UBC33, and UBC34in planta. Taken together, these results suggest that the stability and ABA import activity of NRT1.2/NPF4.6 are precisely regulated by its phosphorylation and degradation in response to environmental stress.
