Sequence motifs in MADS transcription factors responsible for specificity and diversification of protein-protein interaction. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Protein sequences encompass tertiary structures and contain information about specific molecular interactions, which in turn determine biological functions of proteins.

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 ...

The MADS domain protein AGL15 localizes to the nucleus during early stages of seed development. [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1996 Little is known about regulatory factors that act during the earliest stages of plant embryogenesis. The MADS domain protein AGL15 (for AGAMOUS-like) is expressed preferentially during embryogenesis and accumulates during early seed development in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous flowering plants.

FLOWERING LOCUS C Encodes a Novel MADS Domain Protein That Acts as a Repressor of Flowering [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 Winter-annual ecotypes of Arabidopsis are relatively late flowering, unless the flowering of these ecotypes is promoted by exposure to cold (vernalization). This vernalization-suppressible, late-flowering phenotype results from the presence of dominant, late-flowering alleles at two loci, FRIGIDA (FRI) and FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC).
