Source Description
TAIREncodes NIN Like Protein 7 (NLP7). Modulates nitrate sensing and metabolism. Mutants of NLP7 show features of nitrogen-starved plants and are tolerant to drought stress. Localized in the nucleus and functions as a putative transcription factor.
UniProtTranscription factor involved in regulation of nitrate assimilation and in transduction of the nitrate signal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18826430}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. NLP7 is an important element of the nitrate signal transduction pathway and is proposed as a new regulatory protein specific for nitrogen assimilation in non-nodulating plants. [NLP7]
    [PMID: 18826430]
  2. NLP7 expression maintains pectin and cellulose levels in the root and represses the expression of CEL5, XTH5, PL, SMB, and BRN1/2, thereby preventing single cell border-like cell release.
    [PMID: 27221617]
  3. Results demonstrate that NLP7 significantly improves plant growth under both nitrogen-poor and -rich conditions by coordinately enhancing nitrogen and carbon assimilation and sheds light on crop improvement.
    [PMID: 27293103]
  4. TCP20 and NLP6/NLP7 transcription factors control plant responses to nitrate availability.
    [PMID: 28202720]
  5. nitrate-coupled CPK signalling phosphorylates conserved NIN-LIKE PROTEIN (NLP) transcription factors to specify the reprogramming of gene sets for downstream transcription factors, transporters, nitrogen assimilation, carbon/nitrogen metabolism, redox, signalling, hormones and proliferation
    [PMID: 28489820]
  6. NLP7 control of root cap cell release is largely independent of gravity sensing and root cap cell identity.
