Plant-specific transcription factor YABBY family protein
Curator Summary
YABBY gene family member, likely has transcription factor activity, involved in specifying abaxial cell fate. Along with FIL, involved in patterning of the fruit. GUS reporter gene expression in seedlings is observed in the young leaves and as the leaf matures, expression is restricted to the abaxial tissues of leaves, expression is also observed on either side of the leaf margin in the younger tissues of leaf blades.
Computational Description
YABBY3 (YAB3); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: High mobility group, superfamily (InterPro:IPR009071), YABBY protein (InterPro:IPR006780); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: Plant-specific transcription factor YABBY family protein (TAIR:AT2G45190.1); Has 469 Blast hits to 469 proteins in 131 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 4; Fungi - 6; Plants - 442; Viruses - 2; Other Eukaryotes - 15 (source: NCBI BLink).
