    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. ALF4 is induced in galls and giant cells formed by Meloidogyne javanica in roots and hypocotyls.
      Title: A role for ALF4 during gall and giant cell development in the biotic interaction between Arabidopsis and Meloidogyne spp.
    2. ALF4 binds to RBX1 and inhibits the activity of SCF(TIR)(1), an E3 ligase responsible for degradation of the Aux/IAA transcriptional repressors. In vivo, the alf4 mutation destabilizes the CUL1 subunit of the SCF
      Title: The Arabidopsis ALF4 protein is a regulator of SCF E3 ligases.
    3. Data indicate that a plant-specific transcription factor ABERRANT LATERAL ROOT FORMATION4 (ALF4) is required for the initiation of protoplast division.
