Description |
B3 domain-containing transcription repressor VAL1 |
| Gene Summary |
HSI2 is a member of a novel family of B3 domain proteins with a sequence similar to the ERF-associated amphiphilic repression (EAR) motif. It functions as an active repressor of the Spo minimal promoter (derived from a gene for sweet potato sporamin A1) through the EAR motif. It contains a plant-specific B3 DNA-binding domain. The Arabidopsis genome contains 42 genes with B3 domains which could be classified into three families that are represented by ABI3, ARF1 and RAV1. HSI2 belongs to the ABI3 family. It is expressed at similar levels in all organs. Treatment with 6% sucrose showed a slight increase in transcript levels after 24 h. No changes were observed after treatment with 50##M ABA. It is localized in the nucleus via a nuclear localization sequence located in the fourth conserved region of the C-terminal B3 domain. |
