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
