Encodes a basic domain leucine zipper (bZip) transcription factor bZIP11. Translation is repressed by sucrose. Directly regulates gene expression of ASN1 and ProDH2, which are enzyme-coding genes involved in amino acid metabolism.
Computational Description
G-box binding factor 6 (GBF6); FUNCTIONS IN: DNA binding, protein heterodimerization activity, sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; INVOLVED IN: sucrose induced translational repression, negative regulation of translation, regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent, response to sucrose stimulus; LOCATED IN: chloroplast; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (InterPro:IPR004827), bZIP transcription factor, bZIP-1 (InterPro:IPR011616); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: basic leucine-zipper 44 (TAIR:AT1G75390.1); Has 1778 Blast hits to 1778 proteins in 91 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 8; Fungi - 2; Plants - 1730; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 38 (source: NCBI BLink).
