The auxin receptor is composed of two proteins: the SCF complex component TIR1 and the repressor protein AUX/IAA.

TIR1 recruits AUX/ IAA proteins to the SCF -TIR1 complex in an auxin-dependent manner. Once recruited by auxin, AUX/IAA proteins are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase activity of the SCF-TIR1 complex, which marks the protein for destruction by the 26S proteasome.

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF AUXIN:

Three main guidance systems control the orientation of plant growth:

1. Phototropism, 

2. Gravitropism, 

3. Thigmotropism

Phototropism Is Mediated by the Lateral Redistribution of Auxin

In response to a directional light stimulus, the auxin produced at the tip, instead of being transported basipetally, is transported laterally toward the shaded side. Two flavoproteins, phototropins 1 and 2, are the photoreceptors for the blue-light signaling pathway that induces phototropic bending in Arabidopsis
