Abstract
Effectors of transcription (ETs) are plant-specific regulatory proteins characterized by the presence of two to five C-terminal DNA- and Zn-binding repeats, and a highly conserved cysteine pattern. There are three ETs in Arabidopsis thaliana. AtET2 plays a role in the regulation of plant hormone GA (gibberellin) and cell-cycle-related protein GASA4 [ 1 , 2 ]. Regulation of GA response has also been observed in Brassica napus ET, and could be a conserved feature of these proteins [ 3 ].
