UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) is an ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation photoreceptor that mediates light responses in plants. How plant UVR8 acts in response to UVB light is not well understood. Here, we report the identification and characterization of theArabidopsisWRKY DNA-BINDING PROTEIN 36 (WRKY36) protein. WRKY36 interacts with UVR8 in yeast andArabidopsiscells and it promotes hypocotyl elongation by inhibitingHY5transcription. Inhibition of hypocotyl elongation under UVB requires the inhibition of WRKY36. WRKY36 binds to the W-box motif of theHY5promoter to inhibit its transcription, while nuclear localized UVR8 directly interacts with WRKY36 to inhibit WRKY36–DNA binding both in vitro and in vivo, leading to the release of inhibition ofHY5transcription. These results indicate that WRKY36 is a negative regulator ofHY5and that UVB represses WRKY36 via UVR8 to promote the transcription ofHY5and photomorphogenesis. The UVR8–WRKY36 interaction in the nucleus represents a novel mechanism of early UVR8 signal transduction inArabidopsis.
