Transcription factors5
- HD-Zips (Homeodomain-Leucine Zippers) are a class of plant-specific transcription factors that play multiple roles in plant growth and development. (biomedcentral.com)
- These 23 PpHDZ transcription factors all contained a homeomorphism box domain and a leucine zipper domain, were divided into 4 subfamilies(I-IV) according to the evolutionary analysis, and their promoters contained many different cis-acting elements. (biomedcentral.com)
- HD-Zip transcription factors belong to the Homeodomain (HD) transcription factor superfamily and are only found in plants. (biomedcentral.com)
- A variety of prominent transcription factor families are present in all four species, including Myb, basic helix-loop-helix, basic leucine zipper, C2H2 zinc finger and homeodomain transcription factors. (biomedcentral.com)
- Exon shuffling has led to transcription factors unique to plants that contain both homeodomains and leucine zippers. (biomedcentral.com)

- In addition to these HD-ZIP proteins, leucine zippers can be found in the plant-specific WRKY factors as well as in basic leucine zippers, which are present in all three eukaryotic kingdoms. (biomedcentral.com)
