TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a basic helix-loop-helix-type transcription factor involved in photoperiodism flowering. Binds to the E-box cis-element in the CONSTANS (CO) promoter to regulate flowering. Interacts with CFL1 and along with CFLAP2 negatively regulates cuticle development. Binds to the potassium channel gene KAT1 as a dimer. The DNA-binding capacity is inhibited in response to ABA through phosphorylation-dependent monomerization. |
