Encodes a member of the basic helix loop helix family of transcription factors. Loss of RGE1 function causes shriveled seeds that contain small embryos. The cuticle in the embryos does not develop normally, possible due to the adeherence of the endosperm to the developing embryo. RGE1 is expressed in the endosperm surrounding region which directly surrounds the developing embryo, however it exerts its effect non autonomously- in the developing embryo. Mutant seedlings are extremely sensitive to dessication due to the abnormal cuticle. | RETARDED GROWTH OF EMBRYO 1 (RGE1) | FUNCTIONS IN: DNA binding, sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity | INVOLVED IN: embryo development, regulation of transcription | LOCATED IN: nucleus | EXPRESSED IN: endosperm | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain , Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding | BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein |
