APETALA2 antagonizes the transcriptional activity of AGAMOUS in regulating floral stem cells in Arabidopsis thaliana
APETALA2 (AP2) is best known for its function in the outer two floral whorls, where it specifies the identities of sepals and petals by restricting the expression of AGAMOUS (AG) to the inner two whorls in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we describe a role of AP2 in promoting the maintenance of floral stem cell fate, not by repressing AG transcription, but by antagonizing AG activity in the center ...
متن کاملRepression of AGAMOUS by BELLRINGER in floral and inflorescence meristems.
A common aspect of gene regulation in all developmental systems is the sustained repression of key regulatory genes in inappropriate spatial or temporal domains. To understand the mechanism of transcriptional repression of the floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG), we identified two mutations in the BELLRINGER (BLR) gene based on a striking floral phenotype, in which homeotic transformations from s...
متن کاملInformation display by transcriptional enhancers.
Transcriptional enhancers integrate positional and temporal information to regulate the complex expression of developmentally controlled genes. Current models suggest that enhancers act as computational devices, receiving multiple inputs from activators and repressors and resolving them into a single positive or a negative signal that is transmitted to the basal transcriptional machinery. We sh...
متن کاملOn reconciling the interactions between APETALA2, miR172 and AGAMOUS with the ABC model of flower development.
The ABC model of flower development explains how three classes of homeotic genes confer identity to the four types of floral organs. In Arabidopsis thaliana, APETALA2 (AP2) and AGAMOUS (AG) represent A- and C-class genes that act in an antagonistic fashion to specify perianth and reproductive organs, respectively. An apparent paradox was the finding that AP2 mRNA is supposedly uniformly distrib...
متن کاملDETECTION OF GENE ENHANCERS BY Drosophila ENHANCER TRAP ANALYSIS Enhancers: Transcriptional enhancers are DNA sequences
Enhancers: Transcriptional enhancers are DNA sequences that control expression of nearby genes and direct tissue-specific, positive regulation of those genes (Karp, 2002; Griffiths, et al., 2002). The general mode of action of these sequences is that they associate with specific activator proteins (that are found in only certain tissues); this association of enhancer and activator facilitates t...
