COP1 (E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase COP1) is onvolved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. The protein contains a ring finger zinc-binding motif, a coiled-coil domain, and several WD-40 repeats, similar to G-beta proteins. Acts as a repressor of photomorphogenesis and as an activator of etiolation in darkness. Represses photomorphogenesis in darkness by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of light-induced transcription factors such as HY5, HYH and LAF1. Localized in the nucleus in darkness but is gradually relocated to the cytoplasm upon illumination. Alternative names: Constitutive photomorphogenesis protein 1, RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase COP1
