Some given statements about Auxin signalling pathways are listed;

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

b) The binding of auxin to its receptor complex initiates ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the AUX/ IAA repressor protein by the 26S proteasome 

c) TIR1 recruits AUX/ IAA proteins to the SCFTIR1  complex in an auxin-independent manner

d) AUX/IAA proteins are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase activity of the SCFTIR1 complex, which marks the protein for destruction by the 26S proteasome

Which of the following is correct explanation of Auxin signalling pathways?

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.
