We seek a  highly motivated researcher  with a strong background in  protein chemistry, molecular genetics, genomics, and/or plant development . GA perception by its nuclear receptor, GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1), triggers polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the master growth regulators DELLA proteins   via the   SCF SLY1/GID2 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. DELLA genes are known as “Green Revolution” genes, as dominant mutations confer semi-dwarfism and significantly increased crop yields through reduced GA responsiveness. DELLA proteins function as central signaling hubs , interacting with diverse transcription factors (TFs) to integrate hormonal and developmental signals. Recent studies show that DELLAs associate with both activated and repressed promoters, and that TF–DELLA–histone H2A complexes   at target chromatin are essential for their regulatory activity. However, how DELLAs achieve interaction specificity and act as transcriptional coactivators or corepressors at distinct genes remains unclear. This project uses  structural, biochemical, and genomics approaches  to address these questions and uncover fundamental mechanisms of plant growth regulation.
