Auxin-Binding Protein 1 (ERABP1) Arabidopsis Thaliana Recombinant Protein

Auxin receptor that controls cell elongation and cell division (PubMed:9804548, PubMed:11297513). Involved in embryonic morphogenesis (PubMed:11297513). Acts on the cell cycle, endocycle, cell plate formation, and cell expansion and contributes to the control of auxin-related gene expression (PubMed:18952781). Controls root meristem size and mediates auxin responsiveness (PubMed:19777056). Involved in activation of ROP GTPases in response to auxin and regulation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in roots (PubMed:20887895, PubMed:22683261). Acts as a positive factor in clathrin recruitment to the plasma membrane, thereby promoting endocytosis (PubMed:20887896, PubMed:25922490). Upon auxin binding, restricts the internalization of PIN proteins by inhibiting clathrin-mediated endocytosis (PubMed:20887896, PubMed:25922490). Involved in the regulation of polar auxin transport (PubMed:21223392). Behaves as a negative regulator of the SCF(TIR1/AFB) signaling pathway, protecting AUX/IAA repressors from degradation (PubMed:24051655). Regulates the expression of cell wall remodeling genes via an SCF(TIR1/AFB)-dependent pathway (PubMed:24424095). Involved in the modulation of hemicellulose xyloglucan structure (PubMed:24424095). Required for rapid auxin-mediated re-orientation of microtubules to regulate cell elongation in roots and dark-grown hypocotyls as well as asymmetric growth during gravitropic responses (PubMed:25409144). Involved in the shade avoidance response (PubMed:24052532). Forms with TMK1 a cell surface auxin perception complex that activates ROP signaling pathways (PubMed:24578577). ABP1 sensing of auxin is important for the ABP1-TMK1 complex formation (PubMed:24578577). Interacts functionally with phytochrome to regulate growth (PubMed:25392478).
