Anthocyanin accumulation specifically depends on sucrose (Suc) signaling/levels. However, the gene cascades specifically involved in the Suc signaling/level-mediated anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway are still unknown. Arabidopsis ANGUSTIFOLIA3 (AN3), a transcription coactivator, is involved in the regulation of leaf shape and drought tolerance. Recently, an AN3-CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 gene cascade has been reported to regulate the light signaling-mediated anthocyanin accumulation. Target gene analysis indicates that AN3 is associated with the YODA (YDA) promoter, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, in vivo for inducing anthocyanin accumulation. Indeed, loss-of-function mutants of YDA showed significantly increased anthocyanin accumulation. YDA mutation can also suppress the decrease in an3-4 anthocyanin accumulation. Further analysis indicates that the mutations of AN3 and YDA disrupt the normal Suc levels because of the changes of invertase activity in mutants of an3 or yda, which in turn induces the alterations of anthocyanin accumulation in mutants of an3 or yda via unknown regulatory mechanisms.

The disaccharide Suc cannot be utilized directly; rather, it is irreversibly hydrolyzed by invertase to the hexoses Glc and Fru to shape plant growth. In this context, Glc controls the stability of the transcription factor Ethylene-Insensitive3 (EIN3) via the function of Hexokinase1 (HXK1), a Glc sensor. Thus, invertase, especially the major neutral cytosolic invertase (CINV), constitutes a key point of control for plant growth. However, the cognate regulatory mechanisms that modulate CINV activity remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), EIN3 binds directly to both the promoters of Production of Anthocyanin Pigment1 (PAP1) and Phosphatidylinositol Monophosphate 5-Kinase 9 (PIP5K9), repressing and enhancing, respectively, their expression. Subsequently, PAP1 binds directly to and promotes transcription of the Cytosolic Invertase1 (CINV1) promoter, while PIP5K9 interacts with and negatively regulates CINV1. The accumulated CINV1 subsequently hydrolyzes Suc, releasing the sequestered signaling cue, Glc, which has been shown to negatively regulate the stability of EIN3 via HXK1. We conclude that a CINV1-Glc-HXK1-EIN3-PAP1/PIP5K9-CINV1 loop contributes to the modulation of CINV1 activity regulating root growth by Glc signaling.
