Genome-Wide Characterization of bHLH Genes in Grape and Analysis of their Potential Relevance to Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in many abiotic stress responses as well as flavonol and anthocyanin biosynthesis. In grapes (Vitis vinifera L.), flavonols including anthocyanins and condensed tannins are most abundant in

The Evolution of the Neural Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Proteins

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors control various aspects of the formation of the nervous system in the metazoans. In Drosophila some bHLH (such as the achaete-scuteatonal, and amos genes) act as proneural genes, directing ectodermal ...

Diverse role of basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor superfamily genes in the fleshy fruit-bearing plant species

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2022
The basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) superfamily is the most widespread family of transcription factors in eukaryotic organisms, which can activate the expression of genes by interacting with specific promoters in the genes.

Identification and expression analysis of the apple (Malus × domestica) basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor family

Scientific Reports, 2017
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins, which are characterized by a conserved bHLH domain, comprise one of the largest families of transcription factors in both plants and animals, and have been shown to have a wide range of biological functions ...

Type I bHLH Proteins Daughterless and Tcf4 Restrict Neurite Branching and Synapse Formation by Repressing Neurexin in Postmitotic Neurons

Cell Reports, 2016
Proneural proteins of the class I/II basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family are highly conserved transcription factors. Class I bHLH proteins are expressed in a broad number of tissues during development, whereas class II bHLH protein expression is more ...

RFP represses transcriptional activation by bHLH transcription factors [PDF]

Oncogene, 2005
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play a pivotal role in the regulation of tumorigenesis, and also in a wide range of other developmental processes in diverse species from yeast to humans. Here we demonstrate for the first time that Ret finger protein (RFP), a member of the TRIM family of proteins initially identified as a recombined ...

Specific binding between Arabidopsis thaliana phytochrome-interacting factor 3 (AtPIF3) bHLH and G-box originated prior to embryophyte emergence

BMC Plant Biology
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain via critical amino acid residues on basic region binding to E-box (5′-CANNTG-3′) is known in embryophyte. However, the dictated E-box types selection by bHLH dimers and the significant impact of these critical ...

Functions and Regulatory Mechanisms of bHLH Transcription Factors during the Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses in Woody Plants

Plants
Environmental stresses, including abiotic and biotic stresses, have complex and diverse effects on the growth and development of woody plants, which have become a matter of contention due to concerns about the outcomes of climate change on plant ...
