Source Description
UniprotDEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Accumulates in the basal embryo region that gives rise to hypocotyl, root, and root stem cells. Expressed in the root meristem throughout embryo development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15454085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20190735}.
UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in roots, seedlings, flowers, and siliques. Also detected at low levels in leaves. In roots, specifically detected in the distal root meristem, including the QC. This tissue specificity is regulated by auxin gradient and depends on PIN proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15454085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15635403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15988559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424342, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20190735}.
Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIREncodes a member of the AINTEGUMENTA-like (AIL) subclass of the AP2/EREBP family of transcription factors and is essential for quiescent center (QC) specification and stem cell activity. It is a key effector for establishment of the stem cell niche during embryonic pattern formation. It is transcribed in response to auxin accumulation and is dependent on auxin response transcription factors.
UniProtProbably acts as a transcriptional activator. Binds to the GCC-box pathogenesis-related promoter element. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression by stress factors and by components of stress signal transduction pathways (By similarity). Master regulator of basal/root fate. Essential for root quiescent center (QC) and columella specification, stem cell activity, as well as for establishment of the stem cell niche during embryogenesis. Modulates the root polar auxin transport by regulating the distribution of PIN genes. Essential role in respecifying pattern and polarity in damaged roots. Direct target of the transcriptional corepressor TPL. Expression levels and patterns regulated post-transcriptionally by root meristem growth factors (RGFs). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15454085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15635403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424342, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20190735}.

  1. RopGEF7 is required for root meristem maintenance as it regulates the expression of PLETHORA1 (PLT1) and PLT2, which are key transcription factors that mediate the patterning of the root stem cell niche.
    [PMID: 21828289]
  2. PLT1 and PLT2 are key interaction nodes between jasmonate and auxin in the regulation of root stem cell niche maintenance and meristem activity.
    [PMID: 21954460]
  3. These results suggest that endogenous L-cysteine level acts to maintain root stem cell niche by regulating basal- and auxin-induced expression of PLT1/2 and SCR/SHR.
    [PMID: 24798139]
  4. The abo8 mutation affects the expression of PLT1 and PLT2; plt1 and plt2 mutants are sensitive to ABA in root growth
    [PMID: 25522358]
  5. ABA treatment reduced the expression levels of the PIN-FORMEDs (PIN) auxin efflux carriers, PIN1, PIN3, PIN4, and PIN7, to a greater extent in the root meristems of arf2-101 mutant than in the wild type. ARF2 positively mediates the transcripts of transcription factor PLETHORA 1 (PLT1) gene but negatively mediates PLT2 at protein level in root meristems.
