The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) triggers production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in guard cells via the AtrbohD and AtrbohF NADPH oxidases, leading to stomatal closure. The ABA-activated SnRK2 protein kinase open stomata 1 (OST1) (SRK2E/SnRK2.6) acts upstream of ROS in guard cell ABA signaling. Here, we report that OST1 phosphorylates Ser13 and Ser174 on AtrbohF. In addition, substitution of Ser174 to Ala results in a ∼40% reduction in the phosphorylation of AtrbohF by OST1. We also show that OST1 physically interacts with AtrbohF. These results provide biochemical evidence suggesting that OST1 regulates AtrbohF activity.Structured summaryMINT-7260179, MINT-7260147, MINT-7260165: OST1 (uniprotkb:Q940H6) phosphorylates (MI:0217) ATRBOHF (uniprotkb:O48538) by protein kinase assay (MI:0424)MINT-7260208: OST1 (uniprotkb:Q940H6) and ATRBOHF (uniprotkb:O48538) physically interact (MI:0915) by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (MI:0809)
