Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIREncodes a homolog of the potato p24 protein. It shares the conserved KGKAAL domain, a putative DNA-binding domain, with potato p24 and is localized to the plastid and not the nucleus.
UniProtSingle-stranded DNA-binding protein that functions in both chloroplasts and nucleus. In chloroplasts, maintains plastid genome stability by preventing break-induced and short homology-dependent illegitimate recombinations. In the nucleus, is recruited to a distal element upstream of the kinesin KP1 to mediate the transcriptional repression of KP1. Can bind double-stranded DNA in vivo. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19666500, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19669906, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20551348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21911368}.

  1. Data show that a double KO of the genes AtWhy1 and AtWhy3 leads to the appearance of plants with variegated green/white/yellow leaves, symptomatic of nonfunctional chloroplasts.
    [PMID: 19666500]
  2. AtWHY1 and AtWHY3, as two components of KBF1, can be recruited at the KPRE site to mediate the transcriptional repression of AtKP1.
