Source Description
TAIREncodes a transcription factor CIB1 (cryptochrome-interacting basic-helix-loop-helix). CIB1 interacts with CRY2 (cryptochrome 2) in a blue light-specific manner in yeast and Arabidopsis cells, and it acts together with additional CIB1-related proteins to promote CRY2-dependent floral initiation. CIB1 positively regulates FT expression.
UniProtTranscription factor that binds DNA to G box 5'-CACGTG-3' and, to a lower extent, to E-box 5'-CANNTG-3' in vitro. Binds to chromatin DNA of the FT gene and promotes its expression, and thus triggers flowering in response to blue light. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18988809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24130508}.

  1. identification & characterization of CIB1 (At4g34530) protein; CIB1 interacts with CRY2 in a blue light-specific manner & acts with additional CIB1-related proteins to promote CRY2-dependent floral initiation; CIB1 stimulates FT messenger RNA expression.
    [PMID: 18988809]
  2. Data indicate that although cryptochrome 2 physically interacts with CIB1 in response to blue light, ZEITLUPE and LOV KELCH PROTEIN 2 are required for the function and blue-light suppression of degradation of CIB1.
    [PMID: 24101505]
  3. It describes minimal functional CRY2 and CIB1 domains maintaining light-dependent interaction and new signaling mutations affecting Arabidopsis thaliana cryptochrome 2 (AtCRY2) photocycle kinetics.
    [PMID: 27065233]
  4. CRY2-CIB1 and CRY2-CRY2 interactions are governed by well-separated protein interfaces at the two termini of CRY2.
    [PMID: 28916751]
  5. We also determined that CRY2 was recruited to the FT chromatin by CIB1 and CO and that all three proteins are bound to the same region within the FT promoter. Therefore, there is crosstalk between the CRY2-CO and CRY2-CIBs pathways, and CIB1 and CO act together to regulate FT transcription and flowering.
