Abstract excerpt
Plants require the UV-B photoreceptor UV resistance locus 8 (UVR8) for acclimation and survival in sunlight. Upon UV-B perception, UVR8 switches instantaneously from a homodimeric to monomeric configuration, which leads to interaction with the key signaling protein constitutively photomorphogenic 1 (COP1) and induction of UV-B-protective responses. Here, we show that UVR8 monomerization is reversible in vivo,...
