Source Description
TAIRencodes a bZIP G-box binding protein whose expression is induced by ABA. It has been shown to bind to Adh that contains the G-box and is induced by cold and water deprivation. GBF3 has been shown to be expressed mostly in the root and dark-grown leaves. GBF3 can act as homodimers and as heterodimers with GFB1, GBF2 and GBF4. In addition, GBF3s DNA binding activity is enhanced by GIP1, GPRI1 and GPRI2.
UniProtBinds to the G-box motif (5'-CCACGTGG-3') of the rbcS-1A gene promoter. G-box and G-box-like motifs are cis-acting elements defined in promoters of certain plant genes which are regulated by such diverse stimuli as light-induction or hormone control. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8672884}.
