NCBI Protein Information
auxin response factor 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes a member of the auxin response factor family. ARFs bind to the cis element 5'-TGTCTC-3' ARFs mediate changes in gene expression in response to auxin. ARF's form heterodimers with IAA/AUX genes. ARF1 enhances mutant phenotypes of ARF2 and may act with ARF2 to control aspects of maturation and senescence.ARF1:LUC and 3xHA:ARF1 proteins have a half-life of ~3-4 hours and their degradation is reduced by proteasome inhibitors. 3xHA:ARF1 degradation is not affected by a pre-treatment with IAA. A nuclear-targeted fusion protein containing the middle region of ARF1 linked to LUC:NLS has a similar half-life to the full-length ARF1:LUC construct. The degradation of 3xHA:ARF1 is not affected in an axr6-3 mutant grown at room temperature, although the degradation of AXR2/IAA7 is slowed under these conditions.

UniProt Comments
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are transcriptional factors that bind specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-TGTCTC-3' found in the auxin-responsive promoter elements (AuxREs). Seems to act as transcriptional repressor. Formation of heterodimers with Aux/IAA proteins may alter their ability to modulate early auxin response genes expression. Promotes flowering, stamen development, floral organ abscission and fruit dehiscence. Acts as repressor of IAA2, IAA3 and IAA7.
