WRKY transcription factors: from DNA binding towards biological function.
WRKY proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors. Despite their dramatic diversification in plants, WRKY genes seem to have originated in early eukaryotes. The cognate DNA-binding site of WRKY factors is well defined, but determining the roles of individual family members in regulating specific transcriptional programs during development or in response to environmental signals rem...
متن کاملUpdate on WRKY Transcription Factors Regulation of Specialized Metabolism by WRKY Transcription Factors
WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are well known for regulating plant abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. However, much less is known about how WRKY TFs affect plant-specialized metabolism. Analysis of WRKY TFs regulating the production of specialized metabolites emphasizes the values of the family outside of traditionally accepted roles in stress tolerance. WRKYs with conserved roles across pl...
متن کاملElucidating the evolutionary conserved DNA-binding specificities of WRKY transcription factors by molecular dynamics and in vitro binding assays
WRKY transcription factors constitute a large protein family in plants that is involved in the regulation of developmental processes and responses to biotic or abiotic stimuli. The question arises how stimulus-specific responses are mediated given that the highly conserved WRKY DNA-binding domain (DBD) exclusively recognizes the 'TTGACY' W-box consensus. We speculated that the W-box consensus m...
متن کاملThe WRKY superfamily of plant transcription factors.
The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives in Arabidopsis. Family members appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio-logical programs that are unique to plants, including pathogen defense, senescence and trichome development. In spite of the strong conservation of their DNA-binding domain, the overall structures of WRKY proteins ar...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and Transcription Analysis of Chrysanthemum WRKY Transcription Factors
WRKY transcription factors are known to function in a number of plant processes. Here we have characterized 15 WRKY family genes of the important ornamental species chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium). A total of 15 distinct sequences were isolated; initially internal fragments were amplified based on transcriptomic sequence, and then the full length cDNAs were obtained using RACE (rapid a...
