| Description | This pattern represents a conserved region of auxin-responsive transcription factors.The plant hormone auxin (indole-3-acetic acid) can regulate the gene expression of several families, including Aux/IAA, GH3 and SAUR families. Two related families of proteins, Aux/IAA proteins ( ) and the auxin response factors (ARF), are key regulators of auxin-modulated gene expression [ ]. There are multiple ARF proteins, some of which activate, while others repress transcription. ARF proteins bind to auxin-responsive cis-acting promoter elements (AuxREs) using an N-terminal DNA-binding domain. It is thought that Aux/IAA proteins activate transcription by modifying ARF activity through the C-terminal protein-protein interaction domains found in both Aux/IAA and ARF proteins. | Name | Auxin response factor domain |
