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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Protein expression and fine interaction mechanism of banana MuMADS1 and MaOFP1
Fruit Research, 2023 MuMADS1 is an AGAMOUS (AG)-like MADS-box gene previously isolated from banana fruits. Previous investigation demonstrated that the K-domain of MuMADS1 interacts with MaOFP1. However, the expression characteristics of MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 proteins in banana
