WRKY transcription factors in plant defense
Trends in Genetics, 2023Environmental stressors caused by climate change are fundamental barriers to agricultural sustainability. Enhancing the stress resilience of crops is a key strategy in achieving global food security. Plants perceive adverse environmental conditions and initiate signaling pathways to activate precise responses that contribute to their survival.

Functions of WRKYs in plant growth and development
Trends in Plant Science, 2023As sessile organisms, plants must overcome various stresses. Accordingly, they have evolved several plant-specific growth and developmental processes. These plant processes may be related to the evolution of plant-specific protein families. The WRKY transcription factors originated in eukaryotes and expanded in plants, but are not present in animals ...

Review: WRKY transcription factors: Understanding the functional divergence
Plant Science, 2023WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in the growth and development of plants and their response to environmental changes. WRKY TFs have been detected in sequenced plant genomes. The functions and regulatory networks of many WRKY TFs, especially from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtWRKY TFs), have been revealed, and the origin of WRKY TFs in ...

The WRKY superfamily of plant transcription factors
Trends in Plant Science, 2000The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives in Arabidopsis. Family members appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio-logical programs that are unique to plants, including pathogen defense, senescence and trichome development. In spite of the strong conservation of their DNA-binding domain,

WRKY gene family evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana
Genetica, 2011The Arabidopsis thaliana WRKY proteins are characterized by a sequence of 60 amino acids including WRKY domain. It is well established that these proteins are involved in the regulation of various physiological programs unique to plants including pathogen defense, senescence and response to environmental stresses, which attracts attention of the ...

Soil salinization is an increasing global threat to economically important agricultural crops such as bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A main regulator of plants' responses to salt stress is WRKY transcription factors, a protein family that binds to DNA and alters the rate of transcription for specific genes.

Role of Conserved Residues of the WRKY Domain in the DNA-binding of Tobacco WRKY Family Proteins
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2001Four cDNA clones of tobacco that could code for polypeptides with two WRKY domains were isolated. Among four NtWRKYs and other WRKY family proteins, sequence similarity was basically limited to the two WRKY domains. Glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins with the C-terminal WRKY domain of four NtWRKYs bound specifically to the W-box (TTGACC), and ...

WRKY as the name suggests, are the transcription factors (TFs) that contain the signature WRKY domains, hence named after it. Since their discovery in 1994, they have been well studied in plants with exploration of approximately 74 WRKY genes in the model plant, Arabidopsis alone.

Two new WRKY transcription factors from parsley (Petroselinum crispum), WRKY4 and WRKY5, were isolated using the yeast one-hybrid system. In yeast, both proteins interacted sequence-specifically with W boxes (TTGACC) and activated transcription. They appear to contain functional leucine zippers, which increase their affinities for W boxes.
