COP1, another negative regulator of photomorphogenesis, is a component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets photomorphogenesis-promoting proteins for degradation such as phyA, phyB
#Id: 5093
COP1 is found in the nucleus in the dark and in the cytoplasm in the light.
#Id: 5094
During the night, COP1 enters the nucleus with the help of the COP9 signalosome complex (CSN).
#Id: 5095
During the day, COP1 exits the nucleus, allowing the transcriptional activators to accumulate.
#Id: 5096
Bacterial phytochrome is an example of a two-component signaling system in which phytochrome functions as a sensor protein that phosphorylates a response regulator.
#Id: 5097
Plant phytochrome is an autophosphorylating serine/threonine kinase that may phosphorylate other proteins (X).
