Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIREncodes a VirE2-interacting protein. VIP1 mediates nuclear translocation of VirE2 via its amino half, and interacts with histone H2A via it carboxyl half.
UniProtTranscription activator that binds specifically to the VIP1 response elements (VREs) DNA sequence 5'-ACNGCT-3' found in some stress genes (e.g. TRX8 and MYB44), when phosphorylated/activated by MPK3. Required for Agrobacterium VirE2 nuclear import and tumorigenicity. Promotes transient expression of T-DNA in early stages by interacting with VirE2 in complex with the T-DNA and facilitating its translocation to the nucleus, and mediates stable genetic transformation by Agrobacterium by binding H2A histone. Prevents cell differentiation and shoot formation. Limits sulfate utilization efficiency (SUE) and sulfate uptake, especially in low-sulfur conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11432846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12124400, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15108305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15824315, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17947581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19820165, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547563}.

  1. Data indicate that the ability of VIP1 to interact with the VirE2 protein component of the T-complex and localize to the cell nucleus is sufficient for transient genetic transformation.
    [PMID: 15824315]
  2. study shows VIP1 is a direct target of Agrobacterium-induced MPK3; on phosphorylation by MPK3, VIP1 relocalizes to nucleus & regulates expression of PR1; MAPK-dependent phosphorylation of VIP1 is necessary for VIP1-mediated Agrobacterium T-DNA transfer
    [PMID: 17947581]
  3. provide evidence that VIP1 encodes a functional bZIP transcription factor that stimulates stress-dependent gene expression by binding to VIP1 response elements (VREs), a DNA hexamer motif.
    [PMID: 19820165]
  4. The mutant phenotype of both sue3 and sue4 was specific to sulphate deficiency and the mutants displayed enhanced tolerance to heavy metal and oxidative stress.
    [PMID: 20547563]
  5. The nuclear localization of VIP1 is enhanced by increased turgor. VIP1 functions as a regulator of osmosensory signaling in Arabidopsis.
    [PMID: 22452852]
  6. A VIP1 response element-containing promoter was observed in dividing cells, probably resulting from activation of endogenous VIP1.
    [PMID: 23942522]
  7. Investigated the functions of VIP1, we discovered that VIP1 can react with an Ni(2)-activated derivative of horseradish peroxidase, HisProbe-HRP, suggesting that VIP1 can bind Ni(2).
    [PMID: 24057918]
  8. VIP1 is not important for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or VirE2 subcellular localization.
    [PMID: 24953893]
  9. When overexpressed in Arabidopsis, some of them as well as VIP1 caused growth retardation under a mannitol-stressed condition, where VIP1 is localized mainly in the cytoplasm.
    [PMID: 25093810]
  10. Developed efficient protocols that resulted in pure and stable His-tagged VIP1 and VirE2, and using the purified proteins, performed peptide array screening and revealed the binding sites on both proteins.
    [PMID: 25212215]
  11. VIP1 suppresses touch-induced responses.
    [PMID: 27171129]
  12. These results raise the possibility that VIP1 influences structures of the root cap and thereby regulates the local auxin responses in roots.
    [PMID: 27208231]
  13. dephosphorylation of VIP1 resulting from mechanical or hypo-osmotic stress induces nuclear localization via 14-3-3 dissociation
