In this study, we found that the moss PHK1 is diurnally regulated, interacting with HPt1 and HPt2 in the nucleus at night and expanding to nucleocytoplasmic in the day. These results suggest that PHK1 may play a crucial role in moss adaptation to light environment.
In multi-step phosphorelay (MSP) signaling, upon reception of various environmental signals, histidine kinases (HKs) induce autophosphorylation and subsequent phosphotransfer to partner histidinecontaining phosphotransfer proteins (HPts). Recently, we reported that (i) two Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain-containing HKs (PHK1 and PHK2) of the moss Physcomitrium (Physcomitrella) patens suppressed red light-induced branching of protonema tissue, and (ii) they interacted with partner HPts (HPt1 and HPt2) in the nucleus in the dark while cytoplasmic interactions also occurred under red light. Here we demonstrate that PHK1 is diurnally regulated, i.e., it is localized and interacts with HPt1 and HPt2 in the nucleus at night whereas these activities reversibly expand and become nucleocytoplasmic in the day. In the dark, PHK1 interacts with HPts only in the nucleus, even in subjective daytime, indicating that endogenous regulation by the circadian clock is not involved. These results suggest that PHK1 is a regulator of moss' adaptation to a light environment on a daily timescale. We discuss a possible regulatory mechanism for the branching of protonema.
