The gibberellin (GA) signaling pathway, like auxin and jasmonate signaling, uses the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to control expression through protein degradation. A conserved F-box protein of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase is a positive regulator of GA signaling in Arabidopsis and rice. GA apparently stimulates stem elongation by causing this SCF complex to regulate negatively a family of negative regulators of GA response (the DELLA family of putative transcription factors). The DELLA family members AtRGA or (Repressor of ga1-3) and OsSLR1 (SLENDER RICE1) proteins both appear to be subject to GA-induced proteolysis. The need to have the F-box genes AtSLY1 and OsGID2 for this proteolysis suggests that GA causes proteolysis of AtRGA/OsSLR1 via the SCF(AtSLY1/OsGID2) ubiquitin ligase.
赤霉素(GA)信号通路与生长素和茉莉酸信号通路一样,利用泛素-蛋白酶体通路通过蛋白质降解来控制基因表达。拟南芥和水稻中,SCF E3泛素连接酶的一个保守F-box蛋白是GA信号通路的正向调节因子。GA显然通过促使该SCF复合体对GA反应的一类负调节因子(假定转录因子的DELLA家族)进行负调控,从而刺激茎的伸长。DELLA家族成员AtRGA或(ga1-3的阻遏物)以及OsSLR1(细长水稻1)蛋白似乎都受到GA诱导的蛋白水解作用。这种蛋白水解作用需要F-box基因AtSLY1和OsGID2,这表明GA通过SCF(AtSLY1/OsGID2)泛素连接酶导致AtRGA/OsSLR1的蛋白水解。
