AT1G30970 | zinc finger (C2H2 type) family protein suppressor of FRIGIDA4 (SUF4); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Zinc finger, C2H2-like (InterPro:IPR015880), Zinc finger, BED-type predicted (InterPro:IPR003656), Zinc finger, C2H2-type (InterPro:IPR007087); Has 21249 Blast hits to 14717 proteins in 989 species: Archae - 33; Bacteria - 3114; Metazoa - 8587; Fungi - 3278; Plants - 3255; Viruses - 686; Other Eukaryotes - 2296 (source: NCBI BLink). Encodes SUF4 (SUPPRESSOR of FRI 4), a putative zinc-finger-containing transcription factor that is required for delayed flowering in winter-annual Arabidopsis. suf4 mutations strongly suppress the late-flowering phenotype of FRI (FRIGIDA) mutants. suf4 mutants also show reduced H3K4 trimethylation at FLC (FLOWERING LOCUS C), a floral inhibitor. SUF4 may act to specifically recruit a putative histone H3 methyltransferase EFS (EARLY FLOWERING IN SHORT DAYS) and the PAF1-like complex to the FLC locus. | 1 | - | View |
