VRN2_ARATH-2 VRN2_ARATH | function | Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Plays a central role in vernalization by maintaining repressed the homeotic gene FLC, a floral repressor, after a cold treatment. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Associates constitutively along the whole FLC locus. |
VRN2_ARATH-2 VRN2_ARATH F4JMM5_ARATH | similarity | Belongs to the VEFS (VRN2-EMF2-FIS2-SU(Z)12) family. |
VRN2_ARATH-2 VRN2_ARATH | tissue specificity | Weakly expressed. Expressed both during, and in the absence of vernalization. |
