Auxin Binding Protein 1: A Red Herring After All?
The natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid is the first hormone identified in plants,and since it plays such a central role in plant growth and development,auxin has been the subject of intensive studies.A central question has been how the auxin signal is perceived by plant cells.The earliest experiments showed the presence of auxin binding particles at the plasma membrane (PM) and in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Hertel et al.,1972).Screens for PM-localized auxin binding activities have led to the photo-affinity labeling and purification of Auxin Binding Protein 1 (ABP1) from maize coleoptile cells (L(o)bler and Kl(a)mbt,1985).
