Type: Family
Description: COP1 is a RING finger-type ubiquitin E3 ligase. In Arabidopsis, it is a central switch for the transition from plant growth underground in darkness (etiolation) to growth under light exposure (photomorphogenesis) []. In mammals, it functions as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in tumorigenesis, gluconeogenesis, and lipid metabolism. It is regulated by the COP9 signalosome []and is involved in 14-3-3 delta ubiquitin-mediated degradation []. COP1 contains a classic leucine-rich NES and a novel bipartite NLS bridged by a RING finger domain [].

Description: This entry includes animal NOSIP (nitric oxide synthase-interacting protein) and plant CSU1. They are ubiquitin E3 ligases [, ]. Human NOSIP negatively regulates nitric oxide production by inducing NOS1 and NOS3 translocation to actin cytoskeleton and inhibiting their enzymatic activity [, , ].Arabidopsis CSU1 plays a important role in maintaining COP1 homeostasis by targeting COP1 for ubiquitination and degradation in dark-grown seedlings [].

Type: Family
Description: This is a plant family of proteins which includes DWD HYPERSENSITIVE TO UV-B 1 protein (DHU1) from Arabidopsis. DHU1 may act as a substrate receptor of a CUL4-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (CRL4) complex involved in the negative regulation of cellular responses to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) illumination, likely in coordination with RUP1 [, ]. It interacts with COP1 and probably prevents the formation of active UVR8-COP1 complex, thus avoiding UVR8-COP1-mediated positive regulation of UV-B responses [].

Description: In Arabidopsis, SPA1/2/3/4 play a central role in suppression of photomorphogenesis. SPA1 and SPA2 predominate in dark-grown seedlings, whereas SPA3 and SPA4 prevalently regulate the elongation growth in adult plants []. SPAs contain a kinase-like domain, a coiled-coil domain and the WD-repeats. SPAs and COP1 (a ring finger E3 ubiquitin ligase) can form homo- and heterodimers via their respective coiled-coil domains, and the COP1/SPA complex forms a tetramer of two COP1 and two SPA proteins []. The SPA proteins can self-associate or interact with each other, forming a heterogeneous group of SPA-COP1 complexes []. Besides recognizing substrates, both COP1 and SPA bind DDB1 in the CUL4 complex through their C-terminal WD-repeat domains. They serve as DDB1-CUL4-associated factors (DCAFs) similar to other substrate adaptors in CUL4-based E3 ligases. SPA1 interacts with photoreceptor cry2 via its kinase-like domain, with cry1 via its WD-repeat domain and with phytochromes possibly via both []. SPAs have also been shown to regulate the phyB-PIF4 module at high ambient temperature [].

Description: Cryptochromes are blue/ultraviolet-A light sensing photoreceptors involved in regulating various growth and developmental responses in plants []. Cryptochromes are inactive monomers in the dark but change its conformation to homooligomers upon photon absoption []. This entry represents the C-terminal end of Cryptochrome proteins from plants, which is typically between 113 and 125 amino acids in length. The domain is found in association with and .In Arabidopsis, a conformational change in the C-terminal domain is required for activity []. The domain is know to interact with the protein COP1 [].
Protein Domain
Type: Domain
Description: This domain identifies a group of proteins, which are described as: General vesicular transport factor, Transcytosis associate protein (TAP) and Vesicle docking protein. This myosin-shaped molecule consists of an N-terminal globular head region, a coiled-coil tail which mediates dimerisation, and a short C-terminal acidic region []. p115 tethers COP1 vesicles to the Golgi by binding the coiled coil proteins giantin (on the vesicles) and GM130 (on the Golgi), via its C-terminal acidic region. It is required for intercisternal transport in the Golgi stack. This domain is found in the acidic C-terminal region, which binds to the golgins giantin and GM130. p115 is thought to juxtapose two membranes by binding giantin with one acidic region, and GM130 with another [].

It is required for intercisternal transport in the Golgi stack. This domain is found in the head region. The head region is highly conserved, but its function is unknown. It does not seem to be essential for vesicle tethering []. The N-terminal part of the head region contains context-detected Armadillo/beta-catenin-like repeats.

Description: Proteins synthesised on the ribosome and processed in the endoplasmic reticulum are transported from the Golgi apparatus to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and from there via small carrier vesicles to their final destination compartment. This traffic is bidirectional, to ensure that proteins required to form vesicles are recycled. Vesicles have specific coat proteins (such as clathrin or coatomer) that are important for cargo selection and direction of transfer []. While clathrin mediates endocytic protein transport, and transport from ER to Golgi, coatomers primarily mediate intra-Golgi transport, as well as the reverse Golgi to ER transport of dilysine-tagged proteins []. For example, the coatomer COP1 (coat protein complex 1) is responsible for reverse transport of recycled proteins from Golgi and pre-Golgi compartments back to the ER, while COPII buds vesicles from the ER to the Golgi []. Coatomers reversibly associate with Golgi (non-clathrin-coated) vesicles to mediate protein transport and for budding from Golgi membranes []. Activated small guanine triphosphatases (GTPases) attract coat proteins to specific membrane export sites, thereby linking coatomers to export cargos. As coat proteins polymerise, vesicles are formed and budded from membrane-bound organelles. Coatomer complexes also influence Golgi structural integrity, as well as the processing, activity, and endocytic recycling of LDL receptors. In mammals, coatomer complexes can only be recruited by membranes associated to ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs), which are small GTP-binding proteins. Coatomer complexes are hetero-oligomers composed of at least an alpha, beta, beta', gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta subunits. This group represents the coatomer beta subunit.
