Source Description
TAIRmember of a gene family encoding basic leucine zipper proteins (GBFs) which bind the G-box
UniProtBinds to the G-box motif (5'-CCACGTGG-3') of the rbcS-1A gene promoter (PubMed:1373374). 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. Binds to the G-box motif 5'-CACGTG-3' of LHCB2.4 (At3g27690) promoter. May act as transcriptional activator in light-regulated expression of LHCB2.4. Probably binds DNA as monomer. DNA-binding activity is redox-dependent (PubMed:22718771). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1373374, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22718771}.

  1. GBF1, a transcription factor of blue light signaling in Arabidopsis, is degraded in the dark by a proteasome-mediated pathway independent of COP1 and SPA1
    [PMID: 18930926]
  2. In Arabidopsis, GBF1-related exchange factors for the ARF GTPases (ARF GEFs) GNOM and GNL2 play essential roles in polar tip growth of root hairs and pollen, respectively.

  4. Genetic interactions of HY1 and GBF1 in seedling photomorphogenesis.
    [PMID: 22766018]
  5. The DNA binding activity of GBF1 is modulated by heterodimeriation with HY5 and HYH.
    [PMID: 24157608]
  6. GBF1 is a transcriptional repressor of the AtCathB3 gene and affects germination kinetics of A. thaliana seeds. As AtCathB3 is also expressed during post-germination in cotyledons, a role for the AtCathB3-like protease in reserve mobilization is inferred.
    [PMID: 24600022]
  7. This study reveals that MYC2 and GBF1 colocalize and physically interact in the nucleus. This interaction requires the N-terminal domain of each protein.
