Source Description
TAIRPathogen-induced transcription factor. Forms protein complexes with itself and with WRKY40. Coexpression with WRKY18 or WRKY40 made plants more susceptible to both P. syringae and B. cinerea. WRKY18, WRKY40, and WRKY60 have partially redundant roles in response to the hemibiotrophic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, with WRKY18 playing a more important role than the other two.
UniProtTranscription factor. Interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. WRKY60 interacts both physically and functionally with WRKY40 and WRKY18 in a complex pattern of overlapping, antagonistic, and distinct roles in plant responses to different types of microbial pathogens.
    [PMID: 16603654]
  2. Data suggest that WRKY18, WRKY40 and WRKY60 form a highly interacting regulatory network that modulates gene expression in both plant defense and stress responses by acting as either transcription activator or repressor.
