AGL15, a MADS Domain Protein Expressed in Developing Embryos [PDF]
To extend our knowledge of genes expressed during early embryogenesis, the differential display technique was used to identify and isolate mRNA sequences that accumulate preferentially in young Brassica napus embryos. One of these genes encodes a new member of the MADS domain family of regulatory proteins; it has been designated AGL15 (for AGAMOUS-like)

Dual specificity and target gene selection by the MADS-domain protein FRUITFULL
How transcription factors attain their target gene specificity and how this specificity may be modulated, acquiring different regulatory functions through the development of plant tissues, is an open question. Here we characterized different regulatory roles of the MADS-domain transcription factor FRUITFULL (FUL) in flower development and mechanisms ...

One pattern analysis (OPA) for the quantitative determination of protein interactions in plant cells
Background A commonly used approach to study the interaction of two proteins of interest (POIs) in vivo is measuring Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). This requires the expression of the two POIs fused to two fluorescent proteins that function as

New MADS-box gene in fern: cloning and expression analysis of DfMADS1 from Dryopteris fragrans. [PDF]
MADS genes encode a family of transcription factors, some of which control the identities of floral organs in flowering plants. Most of the MADS-box genes in fern have been cloned and analyzed in model plants, such as Ceratopteris richardii and ...

Global Identification of Targets of the Arabidopsis MADS Domain Protein AGAMOUS-Like15 [PDF]
Abstract AGAMOUS-Like15 (AGL15) is a MADS domain transcriptional regulator that promotes somatic embryogenesis by binding DNA and regulating gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis previously identified DNA fragments with which AGL15 associates in vivo, and a low-throughput approach revealed a role for AGL15 in ...

Structural Basis for Plant MADS Transcription Factor Oligomerization
MADS transcription factors (TFs) are DNA binding proteins found in almost all eukaryotes that play essential roles in diverse biological processes. While present in animals and fungi as a small TF family, the family has dramatically expanded in plants ...

The MADS-domain protein PPM2 preferentially occurs in gametangia and sporophytes of the moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
To date, the function of MADS-domain transcription factors in non-seed plants remains largely elusive, although a number of genes have been isolated and characterized from a variety of species. In our study we analyzed PPM2, a classical MIKC-type MADS-box gene from the moss Physcomitrella patens, taking advantage of the unique technical properties ...

Overexpression of a pear B-class MADS-box gene in tomato causes male sterility
B-class MADS-box genes are sufficient for the specification of petals and stamens; however, the role of Tomato MADS-box protein 6 (TM6) in seed formation in pear remains largely unknown.
