Monitoring Response of a Few bZip Transcription Factors in Response to Osmotic Stress in Sunflower
Background: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the important vegetable oil supplies in the world and in Iran, as well. It is classified as a drought semi-tolerant crop; however, its yield is adversely affected by drought stress. Understanding the initial events in sensing stress and the related physiologic and biochemical events thereafter, is crucial in designing droug...
متن کاملگروه بندی و بررسی الگوی بیان ژن های خانواده bZIP در ریشه گیاه گوجه فرنگی تحت تنش دمای پایین
Transcription factors (TFs) are master regulators that control gene clusters Plant bZIP (basic region/leucine zipper) transcription factors play crucial roles in biological processes. The Tomato genome sequence contains 73 genes of bZIP transcription factors. The bZIPs in tomato have never been classified. In this study, 73 genes of bZIP transcription factors were classified in 11 groups by th...
متن کاملActivator Protein-1: redox switch controlling structure and DNA-binding
The transcription factor, activator protein-1 (AP-1), binds to cognate DNA under redox control; yet, the underlying mechanism has remained enigmatic. A series of crystal structures of the AP-1 FosB/JunD bZIP domains reveal ordered DNA-binding regions in both FosB and JunD even in absence DNA. However, while JunD is competent to bind DNA, the FosB bZIP domain must undergo a large conformational ...
متن کاملDifferential gene regulation by selective association of transcriptional coactivators and bZIP DNA-binding domains.
bZIP DNA-binding domains are targets for viral and cellular proteins that function as transcriptional coactivators. Here, we show that MBF1 and the related Chameau and HBO1 histone acetylases interact with distinct subgroups of bZIP proteins, whereas pX does not discriminate. Selectivity of Chameau and MBF1 for bZIP proteins is mediated by residues in the basic region that lie on the opposite s...
متن کاملCardiac hypertrophy, low blood pressure, and low aldosterone levels in mice devoid of the three circadian PAR bZip transcription factors DBP, HLF, and TEF Running head: Cardiac dysfunction in PAR bZip deficient mice
The cardiovascular system is under the control of the circadian clock, and disturbed circadian rhythms can induce cardiovascular pathologies. This cyclic regulation is probably brought about by the circadian expression of genes encoding enzymes and regulators involved in cardiovascular functions. We have previously shown that the rhythmic transcription of output genes is, in part, regulated by ...
متن کاملThe saga of leucine zippers continues: in response to oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress results from either overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), attenuation of endogenous enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant defense systems, or both. The cellular and molecular adaptive responses to oxidative stress involve increased expression of antioxidant enzymes, phase II detoxification enzymes, and stressinducible cytoprotective genes aimed at reversing the oxid...
