NCBI Protein Information
RNI-like superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
The mutations at MAX2 cause increased hypocotyl and petiole elongation in light-grown seedlings. Positional cloning identifies MAX2 as a member of the F-box leucine-rich repeat family of proteins. MAX2 is identical to ORE9, a proposed regulator of leaf senescence. Involved in positive regulation of light responses.

UniProt Comments
Component of SCF(ASK-cullin-F-box) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which may mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Promotes the senescence. Is necessary for responses to strigolactones and karrikins. Contributes to the selective repression of axillary shoots and moderates the branching by regulating negatively the auxin transport in primary stems, in an AXR1-independent manner (PubMed:11487692, PubMed:11874909, PubMed:15737939, PubMed:16546078, PubMed:22357928, PubMed:9351240). Required for the progression of leaf senescence mediated by methyl jasmonate (PubMed:26507893). Required at each node to suppress axillary bud growth (PubMed:17346265).
