Cutting Out the Middle Man in Light Hormone Interactions.
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Shi et al. (2016a) show that red light activated phytochrome B interacts with transcriptional regulators of ethylene signaling, EIN3/EIL1, triggering their degradation by bringing the F box proteins EBF1 and 2 to the complex. These findings provide a paradigm for crosstalk between light and hormone signaling pathways.
