Yokonolide B (YkB) was identified as a microbial compound that inhibits auxin-dependent gene activation. Subsequent analysis showed that YkB action is specific for auxin signaling and placed the target for YkB upstream of Aux/IAA degradation.

Interestingly, two independent axr6 alleles affect the same amino acid in AtCUL1, and seem to impair AtCUL1-ASK1 interactions.

From expression patterns and reciprocal rescue experiments, the authors conclude that ARF5/MP can partially compensate for loss of ARF7/NPH4, but not vice versa. Functional differences are further supported by the different phenotypes resulting from the expression of either protein under the control of the same strong promoter.

The authors convincingly show that msg2 and nph4 phenotypes are very similar, that all four recovered msg2 alleles affect domain II of IAA19, and that IAA19 and ARF7 interact both in yeast two-hybrid assays and in in vitro pull-downs.

Additionally, by combining a heat-inducible allele of iaa17/axr3 and a stable allele of iaa3/shy2, the authors provide evidence that specific dynamic concentrations of two Aux/IAA proteins can generate a different signaling output.

Guilfoyle Aux/IAA proteins contain a potent transcriptional repression domain Plant Cell 16 2004 533 543 The authors show that a short motif in conserved domain I of Aux/IAA proteins, which is also found in several transcriptional repressors, is required for Aux/IAAs to inhibit auxin-dependent gene expression in carrot protoplasts. The presence of this motif thus renders Aux/IAA proteins transcriptional repressors, which has implications for the mechanism of gene regulation by ARFs and Aux/IAAs.
