Directionality of auxin transport is determined by polar localization of PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins. Here the authors show that Arabidopsis WAV3 E3 ubiquitin ligases contribute to PIN polarity by selectively antagonizing ectopic deposition of de novo synthesized PIN proteins following cell division.
