Identity and complex

• F-box/LRR protein; F-box binds ASK1 PMID:11487692.
• SCF(MAX2) in planta, nuclear, acts locally at node PMID:17346265.

Strigolactone signalling

• SMXL6/7/8 co-IP with MAX2, MAX2-dependent SL-induced SMXL6 ubiquitination PMID:26546446.
• D14-MAX2-ASK1 SL-induced complex PMID:27479325.

Karrikin signalling

• PMID:21555559; SMAX1 vs SMXL6/7/8 division of labour PMID:26546447.

Other phenotypes (non-core)

• Senescence (ore9) PMID:11487692; photomorphogenesis/germination (pps) PMID:17951458;
  drought, cuticle PMID:24198318; auxin transport PMID:16546078; WRKY41 ubiquitination in
  freezing tolerance PMID:37622245.

Curation decisions

• ubiquitin ligase complex -> MODIFY to SCF ubiquitin ligase complex; ubiquitin-dependent protein
  catabolic process -> MODIFY to SCF-dependent proteasomal term.
• protein binding (D14) -> MODIFY to GO:1990756; HT Y2H rows -> REMOVE.
• NEW: GO:1990756 ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity; GO:1902348 cellular response to
  strigolactone; GO:0080167 response to karrikin.
