RING finger proteins have been implicated in many fundamental cellular processes,
including the control of gene expression. A key regulator of light-dependent development in
Arabidopsis thaliana is the constitutive photomorphogenesis protein 1 (atCOP1), a RING
finger protein that plays an essential role in translating light/dark signals into specific
changes in gene transcription. atCOP1 binds the basic leucine zipper factor HY5 and
suppresses its transcriptional activity through a yet undefined mechanism that results in HY5 …
