Source Description
TAIRTranscription factor interacting with photoreceptors phyA and phyB. Forms a ternary complex in vitro with G-box element of the promoters of LHY, CCA1. Acts as a negative regulator of phyB signalling. It degrades rapidly after irradiation of dark grown seedlings in a process controlled by phytochromes. Does not play a significant role in controlling light input and function of the circadian clockwork. Binds to G- and E-boxes, but not to other ACEs. Binds to anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in a light- and HY5-independent fashion. PIF3 function as a transcriptional activator can be functionally and mechanistically separated from its role in repression of PhyB mediated processes.
UniProtTranscription factor acting positively in the phytochrome signaling pathway. Activates transcription by binding to the G box (5'-CACGTG-3'). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10466729, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10797009}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top

    [PMID: 16885032]
  4. Gibberellins signaling regulates protein stability of HY5, and the activity of PIF3.
    [PMID: 18053005]
  5. Data provide evidence that the mechanism by which PIFs3operate on the phyB signaling pathway under prolonged red light is through maintaining low phyB protein levels, in an additive or synergistic manner.
    [PMID: 18252845]
  6. Data show that dephosphorylation of PIF3 is mediated by phytochrome-associated protein phosphatase type 2C.
    [PMID: 18564962]
  7. Results suggest that many type I and type II phytochromes, such as E and C, appear to function through PIF3-mediated pathways.
    [PMID: 19286967]
  8. PIF3 was circadian regulated in dark-grown seedlings.
    [PMID: 19380736]
  9. Studies indicate that phytochromes inhibit hypocotyl negative gravitropism by inhibiting four phytochrome-interacting factors (PIF1, PIF3, PIF4, PIF5), as shown by hypocotyl agravitropism of dark-grown pif1 pif3 pif4 pif5 quadruple mutants.
    [PMID: 21220341]
  10. PIF3 regulates genes misexpressed in the dark, named MIDA genes
    [PMID: 22108407]
  11. The PIF3 protein abundance oscillates under diurnal conditions as a result of a progressive decline in PIF3 protein degradation mediated by photoactivated phyB, and consequent accumulation of the bHLH factor during the dark period.
    [PMID: 22409654]
  12. The nuclear import of phyB can be facilitated by phytochrome-interacting factor 3 (PIF3).
    [PMID: 22451940]

    [PMID: 23209113]
  16. Data indicate that HDA15 and PIF3 cotarget to the genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis in the dark and repress gene expression.
    [PMID: 23548744]
  17. Data indicate that the PIF1/PIF3-HY5/HYH transcriptional modules mediate crosstalk between light and ROS signaling and a mechanism by which plants adapt to the light environments.
    [PMID: 23645630]
  18. Data show that photoreceptor phyB-induced transcription factor PIF3 phosphorylation is required for the known negative feedback modulation of phyB levels in prolonged light, potentially through codegradation of phyB and PIF3.
    [PMID: 23903316]
  19. PIF3 lies downstream of PHYB and RGL3, and plays an important role in the inhibitory effect of NO on root growth of Arabidopsis seedlings in light.
    [PMID: 24157606]
  20. PIF1, PIF3, PIF4, and PIF5 act together to promote and optimize growth under photoperiodic conditions.
    [PMID: 24420574]
  21. PIF3 phosphorylation induces, and is necessary for, recruitment of LRB [Light-Response Bric-a-Brack/Tramtrack/Broad (BTB)] E3 ubiquitin ligases to the PIF3-phyB complex.
    [PMID: 24904166]
  22. The expression level of PIF3, 4, and 5 was significantly up-regulated during both age-triggered and dark-induced leaf senescence.
    [PMID: 25296857]
  23. Under negative day-night temperature difference, lower auxin biosynthesis activity limits the signaling in this pathway, resulting in low activity of PIF3 and short hypocotyls.
    [PMID: 25516603]
  24. 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.
    [PMID: 25944101]
  25. PIF3 and TOC1 display coincident cobinding to dawn-phased genes under diurnal short-day conditions. They interact and colocalize in the nucleus. TOC1 acts directly as a transcriptional repressor of PIF3, which itself acts intrinsically as a transcriptional activator so that PIF3 and TOC1 act antagonistically in regulating the expression of their cotarget genes.
    [PMID: 27071129]
  26. COP1 promotes the degradation of HFR1 under shade, thus increasing the ability of PIFs to control gene expression, increase auxin levels and promote stem growth.
    [PMID: 27105120]
  27. These results suggest that PIA2 modulates phyA-mediated PIF3 phosphorylation by physical interaction with PIF3 and that the secondary structure of the PIA2 N-terminus is important in this modulation.

    [PMID: 28687557]

    [PMID: 28736168]

  34. The EIN3-PIF3 transcription module synergistically halts chloroplast development by interdependently co-occupying the promoters of LHC genes.
    [PMID: 29114016]
  35. MPK6 was activated by red light, and the cotyledon opening angle in red light was reduced in mpk6 seedlings. MKK10, a MAPKK whose function is currently unclear, appears to act as a kinase upstream of MPK6 in regulating cotyledon opening. Activation of MPK6 by MKK10 led to the phosphorylation of PIF3 and accelerated its turnover in transgenic seedlings.
