Gene Description

GID1C (GA INSENSITIVE DWARF1C; locus At5g27320) is one of three soluble gibberellin (GA) receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana, together with GID1A and GID1B. It has the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold of the hormone-sensitive lipase (GDXG) family but no hydrolase activity; the fold forms a pocket that binds bioactive GAs (highest affinity for GA4), after which an N-terminal lid closes over the hormone and creates a surface that binds the N-terminal DELLA domain of the DELLA growth repressors (GAI, RGA, RGL1, RGL2, RGL3). The GA-GID1-DELLA complex is recognized by the SCF(SLY1) E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to DELLA polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation; GA-GID1 binding can also inhibit DELLA activity without proteolysis. GID1C groups with GID1A in the eudicot GID1ac clade and acts mainly with GID1A: the gid1a gid1c double mutant is dwarfed, germinates poorly and has reduced pod elongation, and GID1C is expressed in stems, fruit valves and style. GID1C binds the floral DELLA RGL2 with much lower affinity than GID1A or GID1B, which helps explain why it cannot replace them in stamen development. Loss of all three GID1 receptors abolishes GA responses.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

gibberellin receptor activity

Definition: Binding to a gibberellin and, as a result, undergoing a conformational change that promotes gibberellin-dependent binding of DELLA repressor proteins, thereby transducing the gibberellin signal.

Justification: GID1 proteins, including GID1C, are bona fide soluble GA receptors but GO has no gibberellin receptor activity term (checked in GO via OAK/OLS); gibberellin binding (GO:0010331) captures ligand binding but not signal transduction. Same proposal as in the GID1A review.

Reason: Generic protein binding is uninformative. The underlying GA-dependent GID1-DELLA interaction is real and central to receptor function, but it is captured by gibberellin binding (GO:0010331) plus the GA signaling process terms and the proposed gibberellin receptor activity term; no existing GO MF term specifically describes DELLA binding by an activated receptor.

Summary: Cytoplasmic pool inferred from the GID1 clade (experimental nucleocytoplasmic localization of GID1A).
Reason: GID1 proteins are soluble receptors distributed between nucleus and cytoplasm (GID1A-GFP is nucleocytoplasmic), so the clade IBA is plausible and not contradicted for this paralog. However, the nuclear pool is the functionally relevant one, where the GA-GID1 complex engages nuclear DELLA repressors; no cytoplasm-specific role is known, so the location is kept as non-core (consistent with the SLY1 review).

Summary: NOT involved in response to gibberellin (IGI, with Q9LYC1), based on the absence of a pistil/fruit phenotype in a gid1c single or double mutant in which another GID1 paralog remains.
Reason: The negation is contradicted by direct evidence that GID1C is a functional GA receptor: recombinant GID1C binds GA and interacts with DELLAs only in the presence of GA, and it rescues the rice gid1 mutant. Lack of a phenotype in a mutant retaining a redundant paralog (the paper itself reports compensatory GID1A up-regulation) reflects genetic redundancy, not absence of involvement in GA responses.

Summary: Genetic interaction annotation from PMID:24961590: in a double mutant lacking GID1C and its paralog (Q9LYC1), expression of the remaining GID1A receptor gene was enhanced.
Reason: The observation reflects indirect GA/DELLA homeostatic feedback on GID1A transcription when receptor capacity is reduced, not a gene-expression regulatory activity of the receptor itself. The broad term "negative regulation of gene expression" overstates the evidence.

Summary: Hydrolase activity propagated by IBA from a deep PAINT node (PTN009058710) seeded by catalytically active carboxylesterases/arylacetamide deacetylases that share the alpha/beta-hydrolase (HSL/GDXG lipolytic enzyme) fold.
Reason: GID1 receptors retain the hormone-sensitive-lipase fold but are not hydrolases; the fold has been repurposed into a GA-binding pocket. The GID1 clade diverged from the catalytic ancestral function, so the deep-node IBA and the fold-based IEA are over-propagated to a non-catalytic receptor (pseudoenzyme over-annotation).

Summary: Hydrolase activity assigned by InterPro2GO mapping (IEA) from the alpha/beta-hydrolase (HSL/GDXG lipolytic enzyme) fold signatures IPR002168 and IPR013094.
Reason: GID1 receptors retain the hormone-sensitive-lipase fold but are not hydrolases; the fold has been repurposed into a GA-binding pocket. The GID1 clade diverged from the catalytic ancestral function, so the fold-based InterPro mapping over-propagates hydrolase activity to a non-catalytic receptor (pseudoenzyme over-annotation).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24961590
GID1 was first described in rice as a nuclear localized protein similar to hormone-sensitive lipase family without hydrolase activity

Summary: ARBA-predicted role in fruit morphogenesis, a downstream developmental output of GA signaling.
Reason: GA perception by the GID1 receptors (partially redundantly, with GID1A predominant) controls fruit growth; GID1C contributes to pod elongation in valves. Pleiotropic downstream output, not the core function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24961590
We show that GID1A plays a major role during fruit-set, whereas GID1B and GID1C have partially redundant function with GID1A in seed development and pod elongation, respectively

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Genetic interaction with GID1A (Q9MAA7): gid1a gid1c double mutants show stronger fruit defects than gid1a alone.
Reason: Experimentally supported but a downstream developmental output of GA perception, revealed only in combination with gid1a because of receptor redundancy.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24961590
In contrast, gid1a gid1c showed a significant decrease in the slope, which suggested that this mutant has defects in pod elongation even in the presence of a significant number of seeds, possibly due to a reduced sensitivity to GAs

Core Functions

Soluble gibberellin receptor: binds bioactive GAs (preferentially GA4) in its hydrolase-fold pocket; the GA-bound receptor then engages the DELLA domain of DELLA repressors, initiating GA signaling. Positive regulator of GA signaling: by forming the GA-GID1-DELLA complex it promotes SCF(SLY1)-mediated DELLA ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation and also inhibits DELLA repression without proteolysis, partially redundantly with the other GID1 receptors.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What structural features of GID1C reduce its affinity for RGL2 relative to GID1A and GID1B, and does this DELLA preference shape tissue-specific GA responses?

Q: Do GID1A and GID1C have any non-redundant roles in stem elongation, or does GID1C act only as a dosage contributor?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure GID1C affinity for each of the five DELLA proteins at physiological GA4 concentrations (e.g. quantitative yeast three-hybrid or purified-protein binding) to define its DELLA preference profile.

Experiment: Express GID1C from the GID1B promoter in gid1a gid1b to test whether its low RGL2 affinity prevents rescue of stamen elongation.
