Abstract

SUMMARY Seasonal changes in day length are perceived by plant photoreceptors and transmitted to the circadian clock to modulate developmental responses, such as flowering time. Blue light-sensing cryptochromes, the E3 ubiquitin-ligase COP1, and clock-associated proteins ELF3 and GI, regulate this process, although the regulatory link between them is unclear. Here, we present data showing that COP1 acts with ELF3 to mediate day length signaling from CRY2 to GI within the photoperiod flowering pathway. We found that COP1 and ELF3 interact in vivo and show that ELF3 allows COP1 to interact with GI in vivo, leading to GI degradation in planta. Accordingly, mutation of COP1 or ELF3 disturbs the pattern of GI cyclic accumulation. We propose a model in which ELF3 acts as a substrate adaptor, enabling COP1 to modulate light input signal to the circadian clock through targeted destabilization of GI.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
