DESCRIPTION

Also known as ADO1_ARATH, ADO1, FKL2, LKP1, ZTL. Component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that plays a central role in blue light-dependent circadian cycles. Acts as a blue light photoreceptor, due to the presence of FMN, that mediates light-regulated protein degradation of critical clock components by targeting them to the proteasome complex. The SCF(ADO1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is involved in the regulation of circadian clock-dependent processes including the transition to flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, cotyledons and leaf movement rhythms. APRR1/TOC1 and APRR5, but not 'GIGANTEA', are proteolytic substrates of this ubiquitin ligase complex. Blue light enhances cooperative stabilization of 'GIGANTEA' and ADO1/ZTL, leading to amplification and sharpening of the expression profile of APRR1/TOC1. ADO1/ZTL interacts with ADO3, preventing the interaction of ADO3 with CDF1. Interacts with NFXL2. Interacts (via N-terminus) with GI and (via Kelch repeats) with ADO3. Component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase SCF(ADO1) complex composed of SKP1A/ASK1 (or SKP1B/ASK2), CUL1, RBX1 and ADO1. Also interacts with SKP1D/ASK4, SKP1K/ASK11, CRY1, PHYB, APRR1 and APRR5, and probably with SKP1N/ASK14 and SKP1S/ASK19.
