NCBI Protein Information
RING/U-box superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that acts as a central negative regulator of Arabidopsis floral organ size. Organ size is limited by restricting the period of proliferative growth, rather than the rate of growth and appears to act in a novel pathway, independent of ANT and JAG. Both mRNA and protein are expressed in all actively growing regions of the plant and the vasculature and the protein is rapidly turned over by proteasome-mediated degradation.

UniProt Comments
E3 ubiquitin-ligase that limits organ size, and possibly seed size, in a dose-dependent manner. Negatively regulates the duration of cell proliferation in leaves and petals independently of the major phytohormones (e.g. auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, brassinosteroids, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonic acid), probably by targeting growth stimulators for degradation.
