Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRGlabra 2, a homeodomain protein affects epidermal cell identity including trichomes, root hairs, and seed coat. It also down-regulates seed oil content. Expressed in atrichoblasts and required to suppress root hair development. Also expressed abundantly during early seed development. Directly regulated by WER.
UniProtProbable transcription factor required for correct morphological development and maturation of trichomes as well as for normal development of seed coat mucilage. Regulates the frequency of trichome initiation and determines trichome spacing. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11844112}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. in addition to its known function in trichome and root hair development, GLABRA2 is involved in the control of seed oil accumulation
    [PMID: 16514561]
  2. Complexes containing R2R3 MYB and bHLH transcription factors regulate the expression of TTG2, which then regulates GL2 expression with complexes containing R2R3 MYB.
    [PMID: 17766401]
  3. Expression levels of GL1, MYB23, GL2 and TTG1 were reduced in shoots of sad2 mutants while expression levels of GL3 and ENHANCER OF GLABRA3 (EGL3) were enhanced.
    [PMID: 18713401]
  4. DNA binding of GL1 and GL3 via their own DNA-binding domains to the promoter of GL2 is probably required for the activation of GL2 expression.
    [PMID: 18948276]
  5. GL2 directly regulates cell wall-related gene expression during root development.
    [PMID: 19619157]
  6. These findings reveal distinct relationships between GL2 and single MYBs in the regulation of trichome vs root hair development, and provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of epidermal patterning.
    [PMID: 19878461]
  7. Seeds of the dominant-negative AtSKD1 under control of GS2 promoter display a transparent testa phenotype caused by a lack of proanthocyanidin (PA) and do not possess seed coat mucilage.
    [PMID: 20930567]
  8. A target of GL2 in the seed coat is the gene MUM4 and GL2 regulates seed oil production at least partly through its influence on MUM4 expression in the seed coat.
    [PMID: 21883555]
  9. Transcription factor GL2 and RHM2 are critical for the biosynthesis of mucilage pectin.
    [PMID: 22735692]
  10. Deletion of the START domain from Arabidopsis Glabra2, a representative HD-Zip transcription factor, results in a complete loss-of-function phenotype. The mammalian START domain from StAR can functionally replace the HD-Zip-derived START domain.
    [PMID: 25159688]
  11. Data show that both transcript levels and expression patterns of ENHANCER OF TRIPTYCHON AND CAPRICE1 (ETC1) in the root tip were affected in hda6 mutation.
    [PMID: 26143251]
  12. WER expressed ubiquitously in the root induced GL2 expression only in the root epidermis, whereas co-expression of WER and EGL3 induced GL2 expression in the corresponding tissues.
    [PMID: 26408906]
  13. These results indicate that GL2 directly suppresses basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) genes with diverse functions in root hair development.
    [PMID: 26486447]
  14. The GIR1 and GIR2 might function as adaptor proteins that associate with GL2 and participate in control of root hair formation.
