Expression -- Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
UniprotDEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: First detected in torpedo stage embryos at the boundaries between the presumptive SAM and the cotyledons. Later expressed between the cotyledons and the meristem, and between the cotyledons. In seedlings, localised in stipules and at the boundaries between the SAM and the emerging primordia. Expressed at the site of lateral roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16798887}.
UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed predominantly in shoot apices of seedlings, and, to a lower extent, in rosette leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11311158}.
Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRhomeodomain transcription factor KNAT6, belonging to class I of KN transcription factor family (which also includes KNAT1 and KNAT2). Expression is increased in as and bop1 leaf mutants.
UniProtPlays a role in meristem function. Contributes to the shoot apical meristem (SAM) maintenance and organ separation by controlling boundary establishment in embryo in a CUC1, CUC2 and STM-dependent manner. Involved in maintaining cells in an undifferentiated, meristematic state. Probably binds to the DNA sequence 5'-TGAC-3'. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16798887}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. KNAT6 contributes to SAM maintenance and boundary establishment in the embryo via the SHOOT MERISTEMLESS(STM)/CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) pathway.
    [PMID: 16798887]
  2. KNAT6 and KNAT2 expression is restricted by BP and PNY to promote correct inflorescence development
    [PMID: 18390591]
  3. Results suggested that the late-flowering phenotype of the as1-1 and as2-1 mutants might have been caused by the ectopic expression of KNAT126 triple mutation.
    [PMID: 19891706]
  4. The data indicate that the ATH1-KNAT2 complex acts redundantly with KNAT6, both of which are negatively regulated by BP during pedicel development.
    [PMID: 22140242]
  5. BOP1/2 gain-of-function in stems promotes expression of the boundary gene KNOTTED1-LIKE FROM ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA6 (KNAT6) and ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HOMEOBOX GENE1 (ATH1).
    [PMID: 22751300]
  6. our results indicate that BP interacts with the chromatin remodeling factor BRM to regulate the expression of KNAT2 and KNAT6 in control of inflorescence architecture.
