    Molecular interaction of bZIP domains of GBF1, HY5 and HYH in Arabidopsis seedling development
    (Taylor & Francis, 2013) Ram, Hathi; Chattopadhyay, Sudip
    The bZIP proteins, GBF1, HY5 and HYH, play important regulatory roles in Arabidopsis seedling development. Whereas GBF1 plays a dual regulatory role, HY5 and HYH act as positive regulators of photomorphogenesis. The molecular and functional relations of GBF1 with HY5 and HYH in photomorphogenesis have recently been demonstrated. However, the possible interaction of bZIP domain of each of these proteins remains to be investigated. In this study, our results suggest that bZIP domains of HY5 and HYH are able to interact with the bZIP domain of GBF1. Taken together with the earlier study, (9) these results suggest that the N-terminal domain of GBF1 has an inhibitory effect on its interaction with HY5 and HYH.

    GBF 1, a transcription factor of blue light signaling in Arabidopsis, is degraded in the dark by a proteasome-mediated pathway independent of COP 1 and SPA 1
    (The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 2008) Mallappa, Chandrashekara; Singh, Aparna; Ram, Hathi; Chattopadhyay, Sudip
    Arabidopsis GBF1/ZBF2 is a bZIP transcription factor that plays dual but opposite regulatory roles in cryptochrome-mediated blue light signaling. Here, we show the genetic and molecular interrelation of GBF1 with two well characterized negative regulators of light signaling, COP1 and SPA1, in photomorphogenic growth and light-regulated gene expression. Our results further reveal that GBF1 protein is less abundant in the dark- grown seedlings and is degraded by a proteasome-mediated pathway independent of COP1 and SPA1. Furthermore, COP1 physically interacts with GBF1 and is required for the optimum accumulation of GBF1 protein in light-grown seedlings. Taken together, this study provides a mechanistic view of concerted function of three important regulators in Arabidopsis seedling development.
