Source Description
TAIREncodes a member of the SPL (squamosa-promoter binding protein-like)gene family, a novel gene family encoding DNA binding proteins and putative transcription factors. Contains the SBP-box, which encodes the SBP-domain, required and sufficient for interaction with DNA. It binds DNA, may directly regulate AP1, and is involved in regulation of flowering and vegetative phase change. Its temporal expression is regulated by the microRNA miR156. The target site for the microRNA is in the 3'UTR.
UniProtTrans-acting factor that binds specifically to the consensus nucleotide sequence 5'-TNCGTACAA-3' of AP1 promoter. Binds specifically to the 5'-GTAC-3' core sequence. Promotes both vegetative phase change and flowering. Regulates phase-specific patterns of leaf epidermal differentiation and flowering time, but does not seem to affect leaf shape. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16095614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16914499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9301089}.

  1. Results show that vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis is regulated by an increase in the expression of SPL3.
    [PMID: 16914499]
  2. Data show that LEAFY, FRUITFULL, and APETALA1 are directly activated by the microRNA-targeted transcription factor SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE 3 (SPL3) to control the timing of flower formation.
    [PMID: 19686687]
  3. Data indicate that although miR172 and miR156 play distinct roles in the timing of developmental phase transitions, there is a signaling crosstalk mediated by the SPL3/4/5 genes.

  4. SOC1-SPL module serves as a molecular link that integrates photoperiod and gibberellic acid signals to promote flowering in Arabidopsis.
    [PMID: 21988498]
  5. Overexpression of miR156-resistant SPL3 causes accelerated flowering at a low ambient temperature.
