Source Description
UniprotDEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: First expressed at the globular stage, mostly in the apical part of the embryo. During the triangular stage, confined to the boundary of emerging cotyledons. Later restricted to the center of the apical part of the embryo and to seedling apex, at the boundaries of the cotyledon margins and the boundaries between the SAM and the cotyledons. Localized in a one-cell-wide ring at the boundary between trichomes or lateral roots and epidermis. Accumulates at the boundaries between leaf primordia and the shoot meristem and between floral primordia and the inflorescence meristem. Found in the adaxial axils of secondary inflorescences and pedicels, and in axiallary buds. In flowers, expressed in a ring at the bases of sepals and petals. In carpels, confined to the boundaries between ovule primordia. In ovules, localized in a ring at the boundary between the nucellus and the chalaza. In the mature embryo sac, detected in the two polar nuclei of the central cell. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12837947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17122068}.
UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: In a general manner, present at the boundaries between mersitems and araising primordia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12837947}.
Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRIdentified in an enhancer trap line; member of the NAC family of proteins. Expressed at the boundary between the shoot meristem and lateral organs and the polar nuclei in the embryo sac.
UniProtTranscription activator. Involved in molecular mechanisms regulating shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation during embryogenesis and organ separation. Required for axillary meristem initiation and separation of the meristem from the main stem. May act as an inhibitor of cell division. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12837947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17122068}.

  1. These results reveal that redundant but partially distinct functions of CUC1, CUC2, and CUC3 are responsible for shoot organ boundary and meristem formation throughout the life cycle in Arabidopsis.
    [PMID: 17122068]
  2. Overexpression of miR164 in the cuc3-2 mutant caused an almost complete block of axillary meristem formation.
    [PMID: 18346190]
  3. CUC2 and CUC3 expression mediated by AHK2 and AHK3 signaling may play roles in regulation of flower development.
    [PMID: 19913077]
  4. CUC2 and CUC3 are expressed in leaf primordia and are required for wild-type serration.
    [PMID: 21258003]
  5. The cuc2 cuc3 double mutant displays irregular phyllotaxis in the mature shoot but not in the shoot apex, thus showing a post-meristematic effect of the mutations on phyllotaxis.
    [PMID: 25681504]
  6. cuc1 grf1/2/3, cuc2 grf1/2/3, and cuc3 grf1/2/3 quadruple mutants showed dramatic increases in cotyledon fusion as well as floral organ fusion.
