LUX(transcription factor) is required to generate circadian oscillations and activate CCA1 and LHY expression. It is co-regulated with TOC1 and appears to be inhibited by CCA1 and LHY by directly binding them to late elements in the LUX promoter. Binds to ELF3 and binds to ELF4 in a diurnal complex, which is necessary for the expression of growth-promoting transcription factors PIF4 and PIF5 and subsequent hypocotyl growth in the evening. Alternative names: Protein LUX Arrhythmia, Protein PHYTOCLOCK 1.
