What's a GeneRIF?

this study reveals a daytime PHYB-mediated thermosensing mechanism, in which HEMERA acts as a necessary activator for PIF4-dependent induction of temperature-responsive genes and PIF4 accumulation.
Title: Daytime temperature is sensed by phytochrome B in Arabidopsis through a transcriptional activator HEMERA.
Data suggest a retrograde protein translocation mechanism in which HEMERA/pTAC12 (HMR) is targeted first to plastids, processed to the mature form, and then relocated to the nucleus.
Title: Mechanism of Dual Targeting of the Phytochrome Signaling Component HEMERA/pTAC12 to Plastids and the Nucleus.
In vivo results support a regulatory mechanism for PIFs in which HMR is a transcriptional coactivator binding directly to PIFs and the 9aaTAD of HMR couples the degradation of PIF1 and PIF3 with the transactivation of PIF target genes.
Title: HEMERA Couples the Proteolysis and Transcriptional Activity of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs in Arabidopsis Photomorphogenesis.
Arabidopsis pTAC14 is essential for proper chloroplast development, most likely by affecting plastid-encoded bacterial-type RNA polymerase (PEP) activity and regulating PEP-dependent plastid gene transcription in Arabidopsis together with pTAC12.
Title: A functional component of the transcriptionally active chromosome complex, Arabidopsis pTAC14, interacts with pTAC12/HEMERA and regulates plastid gene expression.
phytochromes directly interact with HMR to promote HMR protein accumulation in the light
Title: Photoactivated phytochromes interact with HEMERA and promote its accumulation to establish photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis.
HEMERA (previously identified as pTAC12) has a function in the nucleus, where it acts specifically in phytochrome signaling, is predicted to be similar to the multiubiquitin-binding protein, RAD23, and can partially rescue yeast rad23mutants.
Title: Arabidopsis HEMERA/pTAC12 initiates photomorphogenesis by phytochromes.
