Source Description
UniProtTranscriptional activator. Common transcription factor of light, abscisic acid (ABA), and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathways. With MYC3 and MYC4, controls additively subsets of JA-dependent responses. In cooperation with MYB2 is involved in the regulation of ABA-inducible genes under drought stress conditions. Can form complexes with all known glucosinolate-related MYBs to regulate glucosinolate biosynthesis. Binds to the MYC recognition site (5'-CACATG-3'), and to the G-box (5'-CACNTG-3') and Z-box (5'-ATACGTGT-3') of promoters. Binds directly to the promoters of the transcription factors PLETHORA1 (PLT1) and PLT2 and represses their expression. Negative regulator of blue light-mediated photomorphogenic growth and blue- and far-red-light regulated gene expression. Activates multiple TIFY/JAZ promoters. Positive regulator of lateral root formation. Regulates sesquiterpene biosynthesis. Subjected to proteasome-dependent proteolysis. The presence of the destruction element (DE) involved in turnover is required for the function to regulate gene transcription. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12509522, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15208388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21321051, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21335373, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21954460, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22669881, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23142764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23593022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23943862, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9368419}.
