Cutting Out the Middle Man in Light-Hormone Interactions
Stepanova, A. N., & Alonso, J. M. (2016, December 5). DEVELOPMENTAL CELL, Vol. 39, pp. 524–526.
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Shi et al. (2016a) show that red-light-activated phytochrome B interacts with transcriptional regulators of ethylene signaling, EIN3/EIL1, triggering their degradation by bringing the F-box proteins EBF1 and 2 to the complex. These findings provide a paradigm for crosstalk between light and hormone signaling pathways.
