Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
UniProtTranscription activator that acts as positive regulator of seedling photomorphogenesis (PubMed:17965270). Acts downstream of COP1 and play an important role in early and long-term adjustment of the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) responses in natural environments (PubMed:21070414). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17965270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21070414}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. study identified STH2 (SALT TOLERANCE HOMOLOG2), a B-box protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, as a positive regulator of photomorphogenesis and report that the B-box domain plays a direct role in activating transcription in plants
    [PMID: 17965270]
  2. acts downstream of COP1 in the shade-avoidance syndrome
    [PMID: 21070414]
  3. BBX32 interacts with SALT TOLERANCE HOMOLOG2/BBX21, another B-box protein previously shown to interact with HY5.
    [PMID: 21632973]
  4. our study indicates that BBX21 coordinates with HY5 and ABI5 on the ABI5 promoter and that these transcriptional regulators work in concert to integrate light and ABA signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana.
    [PMID: 24586210]
  5. binds to the T/G-box in the ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) promoter and directly activates HY5 expression in the light
    [PMID: 27325768]
  6. AGB1 positively promotes hypocotyl elongation through repressing BBX21 activity.
    [PMID: 28827171]
  7. The second B-box domain in BBX21 is indispensable for its biological function in plants. The structurally intact second B-box domain, but not the first one, is required and necessary for binding of HY5 promoter, activating HY5 expression and promoting photomorphogenesis.
    [PMID: 29259103]
  8. Findings indicate that both B-Box Proteins BBX21 and BBX24 regulate ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 protein (HY5) activity post-transcriptionally, in opposite ways.
    [PMID: 29439209]
  9. BBX21 overexpression improved morphological and physiological attributes, and photosynthetic rates in nonoptimal, high-irradiance conditions, without associated impairment of water use efficiency.
    [PMID: 29555784]
  10. interaction with HRB2 modulates ABI5 locus and stomatal aperture
