Comparative analysis of binding patterns of MADS-domain proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Correct flower formation requires highly specific temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression. In Arabidopsis thaliana the majority of the master regulators that determine flower organ identity belong to the MADS-domain transcription ...

Tetramer formation in Arabidopsis MADS domain proteins: analysis of a protein-protein interaction network. [PDF]

BMC Syst Biol, 2014
MADS domain proteins are transcription factors that coordinate several important developmental processes in plants. These proteins interact with other MADS domain proteins to form dimers, and it has been proposed that they are able to associate as tetrameric complexes that regulate transcription of target genes.

Structural disorder and distinctive motifs in the C-terminal region of the MADS-domain transcription factors are conserved across diverse taxa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Plants have acquired the ability to adapt and respond to varying environmental conditions through modifications in their developmental programs. This adaptability relies on the plant's capacity to sense environmental cues and respond via diverse signal ...

Phytoplasma-conserved phyllogen proteins induce phyllody across the Plantae by degrading floral MADS domain proteins. [PDF]

J Exp Bot, 2017
ABCE-class MADS domain transcription factors (MTFs) are key regulators of floral organ development in angiosperms. Aberrant expression of these genes can result in abnormal floral traits such as phyllody. Phyllogen is a virulence factor conserved in phytoplasmas, plant pathogenic bacteria of the class Mollicutes.

AP1 is a pioneer transcription factor that programmes cell fate through MADS-domain protein tetramerisation [PDF]

Genome Biology
Background In animals, pioneer transcription factors (TFs) have long been known to be crucial molecular players in programming cell fate. However, in plants much less is known about this functional class of TFs and how they mechanistically alter local ...

Functional Analysis of MADS-Box Gene Family in Stress Response and Prospects of Breeding Application [PDF]

Plants
The MADS-box family is a multifunctional family of transcription factors characterized by the presence of a unique MADS domain, which plays an important part in regulating essential biological processes, including metabolic synthesis and the stress ...

Control of the Rhizobia Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiosis by Common Bean MADS-Domain/AGL Transcription Factors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plants MADS-domain/AGL proteins constitute a large transcription factor (TF) family that controls the development of almost every plant organ. We performed a phylogeny of (ca. 500) MADS-domain proteins from Arabidopsis and four legume species.

Roles of MADS-box transcription factors in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses [PDF]

Plant Communications
Plants deploy sophisticated adaptive mechanisms to mitigate the detrimental effects of abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and heavy metals) and biotic stresses (pathogens and senescence) on growth and productivity.
