Histone deacetylases (HDAs) play an important role in transcriptional regulation involved in multiple biological processes. In this study, we investigate the function of HDA15 in abscisic acid (ABA) responses. Immunopurification coupled with mass spectrometry-based proteomics was used to identify the HDA15 interacting proteins. We found that HDA15 can interact with the core subunits of MOS4-Associated Complex (MAC), MAC3A and MAC3B. In addition, ABA enhances the interaction of HDA15 with MAC3B. hda15 and mac3a/mac3b mutants are ABA-insensitive in seed germination and hyposensitive to salinity. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis demonstrate that HDA15 and MAC3A/MAC3B not only affect the expression of ABA-related genes, but also regulate ABA-responsive intron retention (IR). Furthermore, HDA15 and MAC3A/MAC3B reduce the histone acetylation level of the genomic regions near ABA-responsive IRs. Our studies uncovered the role of histone deacetylation in ABA-mediated splicing regulation and identified that HDA15-MAC3A/MAC3B acts as an important regulation module to mediate splicing of introns in ABA responses. One Sentence SummaryHDA15 and MAC3A/MAC3B coregulate intron retention and reduce the histone acetylation level of the genomic regions near ABA-responsive retained introns.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
