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

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 ...

AGL15, a MADS Domain Protein Expressed in Developing Embryos [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1995
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

Nature Plants, 2023
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 ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the MADS-Box Gene Family in Sweet Potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
MADS-box gene, one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, is a class of transcription factors widely present in eukaryotes. It plays an important role in plant growth and development and participates in the growth and development of ...

Global Identification of Targets of the Arabidopsis MADS Domain Protein AGAMOUS-Like15   [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2009
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 ...

The MADS-domain protein PPM2 preferentially occurs in gametangia and sporophytes of the moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]

Gene, 2007
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 ...

Structural Basis for Plant MADS Transcription Factor Oligomerization

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019
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 ...

Overexpression of a pear B-class MADS-box gene in tomato causes male sterility

Fruit Research, 2023
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.

The AGL62 MADS Domain Protein Regulates Cellularization during Endosperm Development in Arabidopsis   [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2008
Abstract Endosperm, a storage tissue in the angiosperm seed, provides nutrients to the embryo during seed development and/or to the developing seedling during germination. A major event in endosperm development is the transition between the syncytial phase, during which the endosperm nuclei undergo many rounds of mitosis without ...
