General annotation (Comments)

Function

Probable transcription factor that promotes early floral meristem identity in synergy with APETALA1 and CAULIFLOWER. Is required subsequently for the transition of an inflorescence meristem into a floral meristem. Seems to be partially redundant to the function of APETALA1 and CAULIFLOWER in the up-regulation of LEAFY. Is also required for normal pattern of cell division, expansion and differentiation during morphogenesis of the silique. Probably not required for fruit elongation but instead is required to prevent ectopic activity of IND. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7

Subunit structure

Homodimer capable of binding to CArG-box sequences By similarity.

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Vascular tissue of cauline leaves, floral shoot apex and valves of carpels and fruits. Ref.5

Induction

Dramatically up-regulated upon the transition from vegetative to reproductive development.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 K-box domain.

Contains 1 MADS-box domain.
