Dev Cell 9 (2005) 109-119. Like TIR1, the related AFB1-3 proteins interact with the Aux/IAA protein targets in an auxin-dependent manner. Plants that are deficient in all four TIR1/AFB proteins exhibit severe developmental defects, indicating that the four proteins function redundantly. This explains also why the phenotype of tir1 loss-of-function mutants was only weak regarding auxin resistance.

Science 312 (2006) 436-439. This paper demonstrates that downregulation of auxin signalling by microRNA-dependant cleavage of TIR1, AFB2 and AFB3 messenger RNAs is part of a plant-induced immune response. Moreover, it suggests that auxin promotes susceptibility to bacterial disease.

F-box-like domain in the polerovirus protein P0 is required for silencing suppressor function. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103 (2006) 1994-1999. This paper supports a model in which the viral-encoded F-box protein P0 allows the virus to evade RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated host defence by acting as an F-box protein that targets a component of the post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) pathway. Interestingly, this work links also the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic degradation system to another important regulatory pathway: RNA silencing.
