Anthocyanin accumulation specifically depends on sucrose (Suc) signaling. However, the molecular basis of this process remains unknown. In this study,
pull-down assays identified ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3), a component of both sugar signaling or/and metabolism. This protein interacted with YDA, and the physiological relevance of this interaction was confirmed by
co-immunoprecipitation, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation.

double-mutant seedlings, but not
seedlings, showed anthocyanin accumulation. Furthermore,
suppressed anthocyanin accumulation in
plants. Thus,
may form a sugar-mediated gene cascade integral to the regulation of anthocyanin accumulation. Moreover, the
gene cascade module directly targeted the promoter of
(
) by direct EIN3 binding. Collectively, our data inferred a molecular model where the signaling cascade of the YDA-EIN3-TT8 appeared to target
via EIN3, thereby modulating Suc signaling-mediated anthocyanin accumulation.
