General annotation (Comments)

Function

Required to specify the fate of ventral blastomeres in the early embryo, and postembryonically for the development of the intestine. Directly regulates expression of zygotically expressed med-1 and med-2 to direct mesendoderm development. Ref.2 Ref.4

Subunit structure

Monomer. Ref.3

Subcellular location

Nucleus Ref.3.

Tissue specificity

Postembryonic intestinal cells. Ref.2

Developmental stage

Expressed both maternally and zygotically. Ref.2

Domain

Alternative DNA-binding strategy due to lack of a leucine zipper dimerization segment: DNA binding domain binds to its cognate half-site, an N-terminal arm recognizes adjacent 5' AT-rich sequences in the minor groove and the intervening residues stabilize interactions of these two subdomains with DNA.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the bZIP family. Skn1 subfamily.

Contains 1 bZIP domain.
