Type: | Domain | Name: | Transcription factor BREVIS RADIX, N-terminal domain |
Description: | This entry represents the N-terminal alpha-helical domain of the BREVIS RADIX (BRX), which was characterised as being a transcription factor in plants regulating the extent of cell proliferation and elongation in the growth zone of the root [, ]. BRX maintains a rate-limiting brassinosteroid biosynthesis enzyme expression to keep brassinosteroid biosynthesis above a critical threshold []. BRX has a ubiquitous, although quantitatively variable role in modulating the growth rate in both the root and the shoot []. This entry features a short alpha-helical domain, N-terminal to the repeated alpha-helices of the BRX domain (). | Short Name: | BRX_N |
