G-protein signaling and ubiquitin-dependent degradation are both involved in grain development in rice,but how these pathways are coordinated in regulating this process is unknown.Here,we show that Chang Li Geng 1(CLG1),which encodes an E3 ligase,regulates grain size by targeting the Gγ protein GS3,a negative regulator of grain length,for degradation.Overexpression of CLG1 led to increased grain length,while over-expression of mutated CLG1 with changes in three conserved amino acids decreased grain length.We found that CLG1 physically interacts with and ubiquitinats GS3which is subsequently degraded through the endo-some degradation pathway,leading to increased grain size.Furthermore,we identified a critical SNP in the exon 3 of CLG1 that is significantly associated with grain size variation in a core collection of cultivated rice.This SNP results in an amino acid substitution from Arg to Ser at position 163 of CLG1 that enhances the E3 ligase activity of CLG1 and thus increases rice grain size.Both the expression level of CLG1 and the SNP CLG1163S may be useful variations for manipulating grain size in rice.

Rice is an important food crop and is consumed by nearly half of the world\'s population.Rice grain size is a key yield trait and also affects the quality of grain appearance.Several pathways that control grain size have been identified in rice,such as
