ARF dependent signalling are regulated by auxin concenteration, given some condition followed;
I) In the absence of auxin
 II) In the presence of auxin
Find the statements that are correctly matched with given certain condition,
a)  AUX/IAA repressor proteins containing interaction domains similar to those found in the ARFs form heterodimers with the ARFs and thus repress transcriptional activation
b)  AUX/IAA repressors are recruited to the TIR1/AFB receptor complex and are tagged with ubiquitin for degradation by the 26S proteasome
c) ARFs form homodimers via conserved interaction domains and recruit chromatin remodelling
Which of the following combination is correct?

Feedback regulation represents another key mechanism employed to attenuate a response such as
a) AUX/IAA proteins can bind to the promoters of their own genes and repress their own expression
b) auxin signaling triggers the degradation of AUX/IAA repressors, the ensuing transcription of auxin response genes leads to the replacement of AUX/IAA proteins and thus to response attenuation or termination
c) AUX/IAA genes, which encode the AUX/IAA auxin repressor proteins, have auxin response element binding sites located in their promoter regions
During the feedback regulation mechanism of auxin several responses are trigger, find out the correct sequences of these responses.
