Function
[COP1_ARATH] E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a repressor of photomorphogenesis and as an activator of etiolation in darkness. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Represses photomorphogenesis in darkness by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of light-induced transcription factors such as HY5, HYH and LAF1. Down-regulates MYB21, probably via ubiquitination process. Light stimuli abrogate the repression of photomorphogenesis, possibly due to its localization to the cytoplasm. Could play a role in switching between skotomorphogenetic and photomorphogenetic pathways.[1] [2] [BBX24_ARATH] Acts as negative regulator of seedling photomorphogenesis and light-regulated inhibition of hypocotyl elongation (PubMed:17605755, PubMed:18540109, PubMed:21685177). BBX24/STO and BBX25/STH function as transcriptional corepressors of HY5 activity, leading to the down-regulation of BBX22 expression. BBX24/STO acts additively with BBX25/STH during de-etiolation and the hypocotyl shade avoidance response (PubMed:23624715). Functions as negative regulator of photomorphogenic UV-B responses by interacting with both COP1 and HY5 (PubMed:22410790). May act as a transcription factor in the salt-stress response (PubMed:12909688).[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
