BAH domain protein which cooperates with PHD protein AIPP2 to read H3K27me3 histone marks. The BAH-PHD bivalent histone reader complex silences a substantial subset of H3K27me3-enriched loci, including development and stress response-related genes. Responsible for preventing flowering by suppressing the expression of flowering genes. Binding of BDT1 to the H3K27me3 peptide, which is enhanced by PHD proteins, is critical for preventing early flowering.
