Analysis of a synthetic ABA agonist uncovers a new family of ABA binding proteins that control signal transduction by directly regulating the activity of type 2C protein phosphatases. PP2Cs are vital phosphatases that play important roles in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. Using chemical genetics, we previously identified a synthetic growth inhibitor called pyrabactin. Here we show that pyrabactin is a selective ABA agonist that acts through PYR1, the founding member of a family of START proteins called PYR/PYLs, which are necessary for both pyrabactin and ABA signaling in vivo. We show that ABA binds to PYR1, which in turn binds to and inhibits PP2Cs. We therefore suggest that PYR/PYLs are ABA-receptors that function at the apex of a negative regulatory pathway that controls ABA signaling by inhibiting PP2Cs. Our results illustrate the power of small-molecule approaches for sidestepping the functional redundancy that hampers genetic analysis.
