The ubiquitin-proteasome system is a key mechanism that plants use to generate adaptive responses in coping with various en- vironmental stresses. Cullin-RING （CRL） complexes represent a predominant group of ubiquitin E3 ligases in this system. In this review, we focus on the CRL E3s that have been implicated in abiotic stress signaling pathways in Arabidopsis. By comparing and analyzing these cases, we hope to gain a better understanding on how CRL complexes work under various settings in an attempt to decipher the clues about the regulatory mechanism of CRL E3s.
