At its N-terminus, COP1 harbors a RING finger domain, which is responsible for recruiting ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and catalyzing the transfer of ubiquitin to substrates. The central portion of COP1 contains a coiled-coil domain, which enables the protein to dimerize and interact with other regulatory partners, such as DET1 or SPA proteins in plants. Finally, the C-terminal region comprises multiple WD40 repeats arranged into a β-propeller structure that confers substrate specificity, allowing COP1 to selectively recognize transcription factors and other regulatory proteins. This modular architecture makes COP1 a versatile E3 ligase that integrates environmental and intracellular cues to fine-tune protein turnover. […]

For photosynthetic organisms, light provides the energy required for photosynthesis, but it is also an information-rich environmental cue that regulates growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, movement, and responses to changing environmental conditions. Even organisms that do not perform photosynthesis can use light as a biological signal. Across plants, algae, fungi, animals, and microorganisms, specialized photoreceptors detect particular wavelengths of light and convert them into intracellular signals. These signals are then transmitted through signal transduction pathways to alter protein activity, cellular organization, and gene expression. Light signaling is therefore not simply a response to illumination; it is a sophisticated system through which organisms interpret their environment and adjust their biology. […]
