Source Description
TAIRHomeodomain protein required for ovule identity.Loss of function mutations show homeotic conversion of integuments to carpels.Forms heterodimers with STM and KNAT1. Interacts with AG-SEP heterodimers is thought to restrict WUS expression. BEL interacts with MADS box dimers composed of SEP1(or SEP3) and AG, SHP1, SHP2 and STK. The interaction of BEL1 with AG-SEP3 is required for proper integument development and specification of integument identity.
UniProtPlays a major role in ovule patterning and in determination of integument identity via its interaction with MADS-box factors. Formation of complex with AG-SEP dimers negatively regulates the carpel identity process and favors the maintenance of ovule identity. BEL1-STM complex maintains the indeterminacy of the inflorescence meristem. Required, with SPL, for cytokinin-induced PIN1 expression in ovules (PubMed:22786869). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12244239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17693535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22786869}.

  1. BEL1 interacts with the ovule identity MADS box factors when they dimerize with SEPALLATA proteins.
    [PMID: 17693535]
  2. The transcription factors BEL1 and SPL/NZZ, previously described as key regulators of ovule development, are needed for the auxin and cytokinin signaling pathways for the correct patterning of the ovule.
    [PMID: 22786869]
  3. The branching ovules of the mutant resemble those of some fossil gymnosperms, implicating BEL1 and HD-ZIPIII genes as players in the evolution of the unbranched ovule form in extant angiosperms.
