Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIREncodes a R2R3 MYB protein which is involved in the response to UV-B. It functions as a repressor of target gene expression. One of its target genes encodes cinnamate 4-hydroxylase; mutants accumulate sinapate esters in their leaves. MYB4 binds to its own promoter and represses its own expression. Nuclear localization of MYB4 depends on the action of the beta importin SAD2.
UniProtTranscription repressor involved in regulation of protection against UV. Mediates transcriptional repression of CYP73A5, the gene encoding trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase, thereby regulating the accumulation of the UV-protectant compound sinapoylmalate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11080161}.

  1. Arabidopsis thaliana mutant sensitive to ABA and drought2 (sad2), which harbors a T-DNA insertion in an importin beta-like gene, is more tolerant to UV-B radiation than the wild type.
