1 Tobacco MYC2 regulates jasmonate-inducible nicotine biosynthesis genes directly and by way of the NIC2-locus ERF genes. Nicotine Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 Jasmonate-inducible nicotine formation in Nicotiana plants has been shown to be suppressed by tobacco JAZ proteins, and be regulated by both MYC2-related and NIC2-locus ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factors. Nicotine Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 We here show that tobacco MYC2 (NtMYC2) recognizes the G-box sequences, 5"-CAC(G/A)T(G/T)-3", found in the proximal promoter regions of several nicotine biosynthesis genes, including Putrescine N-Methyltransferase 2 (PMT2) and Quinolinate Phosphoribosyltransferase 2 (QPT2). Nicotine Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
