Zusammenfassung:•AtATL78 is an Arabidopsis plasma-membrane-localized RING E3 ubiquitin ligase.•AtATL78 was up-regulated by cold stress and, in contrast, down-regulated by drought.•Suppression of AtATL78 increases tolerance to cold stress.•Suppression of AtATL78 decreases tolerance to drought stress.•AtATL78 plays opposing roles in cold and drought stress responses in Arabidopsis. AtATL78 is an Arabidopsis RING E3 ubiquitin ligase. RT-PCR and promoter-GUS assays revealed that AtATL78 was up-regulated by cold stress and down-regulated by drought. AtATL78 was localized at the plasma-membrane. Suppression of AtATL78 increased tolerance to cold stress but decreased tolerance to drought. Our data suggests that AtATL78 is a negative regulator of cold stress response and a positive regulator of drought stress response in Arabidopsis. These results further suggest that AtATL78 plays opposing roles in cold and drought stress responses.
