Source Description
UniprotDEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in subepidermal cells of anlagen regions, then in abaxial part of primordia and finally in differentiating organs. Levels decrease in differentiated organs. In embryo the expression starts during the heart stage in the cotyledon anlagen. Later, expression expands to abaxial domain of the cotyledon primordia and decrease as the embryo matures. In stamen, expression restricted to the abaxial region differentiating into the connective. In gynoecium, expressed in the abaxial cell layers differentiating into the valves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10457020}.
UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in abaxial regions of lateral aerial organ primordia leading to cotyledons, leaves, flower meristems, sepals, petals, stamen and carpels, but not in roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10457020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417699}.
Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRYABBY gene family member, likely has transcription factor activity, involved in specifying abaxial cell fate. Along with FIL, involved in patterning of the fruit. GUS reporter gene expression in seedlings is observed in the young leaves and as the leaf matures, expression is restricted to the abaxial tissues of leaves, expression is also observed on either side of the leaf margin in the younger tissues of leaf blades.
UniProtInvolved in the abaxial cell fate determination during embryogenesis and organogenesis. Regulates the initiation of embryonic shoot apical meristem (SAM) development (PubMed:10457020, PubMed:12417699, PubMed:19837869). Contributes to the repression of KNOX genes (STM, KNAT1/BP and KNAT2) to avoid ectopic meristems. Binds DNA without sequence specificity (PubMed:10457020, PubMed:12417699). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10457020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19837869}.

  1. Data show that mutations in the YABBY3 (YAB3) cause an array of defects, including aberrant phyllotaxis.
    [PMID: 18469164]
  2. YAB3 interact with LUG and LUH. Together these proteins maintain leaf polarity and meristem activity in Arabidopsis.
