MicroRNA-directed regulation of Arabidopsis auxin response factor17 is essential for proper development and modulates expression of early auxin response genes. Plant Cell 17 (2005) 1360-1375. The expression of three ARF genes is shown to be regulated by the miR160 microRNA. Expression of a miR160-resistant form of ARF17 conferred dramatic auxin-related defects, demonstrating the importance of this regulation.

41. TIR1 complex. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101 (2004) 12381-12386. The authors demonstrate that the auxin-dependent TIR1-Aux/IAA interaction probably does not require post-translational modification of the Aux/IAA protein. This strongly suggests that this interaction is regulated very differently than previously characterized F-box protein-substrate interactions.
42. TIR1 and TIR1 that is expressed in animal cells interacts with Aux/IAA proteins in an auxin-dependent manner, strongly suggesting that TIR1 is an auxin receptor.

Dev Cell 9 (2005) 109-119. This paper demonstrates that the three additional members of the TIR1 family, AFB1-AFB3, also function as auxin receptors and collectively mediate auxin responses throughout plant development. Quadruple tir1 afb1 afb2 afb3 mutants are auxin-insensitive, exhibiting a bdl-like phenotype, although a considerable fraction reaches the adult stage. This suggests either that an unknown auxin signaling pathway that is independent of TIR1/AFB is still intact in the quadruple mutant or that Aux/IAA proteins such as BDL can be degraded by an alternative pathway.
