UniProt Comments
Component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that plays a central role in blue light-dependent circadian cycles. Acts as a blue light photoreceptor, due to the presence of FMN, that mediates light-regulated protein degradation of critical clock components by targeting them to the proteasome complex. The SCF(ADO3) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is involved in the regulation of circadian clock-dependent processes including transition to flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, cotyledons and leaf movement rhythms. Forms a complex with 'GIGANTEA' (GI) to regulate 'CONSTANS' (CO) expression. Promotes CO expression during the light period of long days by decreasing the stability of CDF1 and CDF2 and by interacting directly with the CO protein and stabilizing it. ADO3 function is mainly GI dependent. Does not act as a regulator of CDF1 transcription. The interactions of ADO1/ZTL and ADO2 with ADO3 prevent its interaction with CDF1.
