Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIREncodes a homolog of the potato p24 protein. Binds single strand telomeric repeats. Negatively regulates telomerase activity and telomere length.
UniProtSingle-stranded DNA-binding protein that functions in both chloroplasts and nucleus. In chloroplasts, maintains plastid genome stability by preventing break-induced and short homology-dependent illegitimate recombinations. In nucleus, modulates telomere length homeostasis by inhibiting the action of the telomerase at the extreme termini of chromosomes. Is recruited to a distal element upstream of the kinesin KP1 to mediate the transcriptional repression of KP1. Is required for full salicylic acid-dependent plant disease resistance responses. Can bind double-stranded DNA in vivo. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14960277, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17217467, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19666500, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19669906, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20551348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21911368}.

  1. AtWHY1 is a new family of telomere end-binding proteins that plays a role in regulating telomere-length homeostasis in Arabidopsis. [Whirly 1][AtWHY1]
    [PMID: 17217467]
  2. Data show that a double KO of the genes AtWhy1 and AtWhy3 leads to the appearance of plants with variegated green/white/yellow leaves, symptomatic of nonfunctional chloroplasts.
    [PMID: 19666500]
  3. AtWHY1 and AtWHY3, as two components of KBF1, can be recruited at the KPRE site to mediate the transcriptional repression of AtKP1.
    [PMID: 19669906]
  4. Whirly1 is translocated from the plastid to the nucleus where it affects expression of target genes such as PR1. [Whirly1] [WHY1]
    [PMID: 22154598]
  5. WHY1 was an upstream regulator of WRKY53 during leaf senescence.
    [PMID: 23922267]
  6. The redox state of the photosynthetic electron transport chain triggers the movement of WHIRLY1 from the chloroplasts to the nucleus.
    [PMID: 24591713]
  7. results demonstrate that CIPK14 regulates the phosphorylation and organellar distributions of WHY1 and pinpoint that CIPK14 may function as a cellular switch between leaf senescence and plastid development for coordinating the intercellular signaling in Arabidopsis
    [PMID: 28412544]
  8. Dual-Located WHIRLY1 Interacting with LHCA1 Alters Photochemical Activities of Photosystem I and Is Involved in Light Adaptation in Arabidopsis
    [PMID: 29112140]
  9. Study concludes that the CIPK14 phosphorylation-mediated WHY1 deficiency in plastids is related to the impairment of protein metabolism, leading to chloroplast dysfunction
