At5g46210: CUL4 (CULLIN4)

Arabidopsis CULLIN4 (CUL4) forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase with the CDD complex and a common catalytic subunit RBX1 in mediating light control of development. This CUL4-based E3 ligase is essential for the repression of photomorphogenesis. The partial loss of CUL4 function resulted in a constitutive photomorphogenic phenotype with respect to morphogenesis and light-regulated gene expression. CUL4 exhibits a synergistic genetic interaction with COP10 and DET1.
