Structure of LEAFY transcription factor from Arabidopsis thaliana in complex with DNA from AP1 promoterStructure of LEAFY transcription factor from Arabidopsis thaliana in complex with DNA from AP1 promoter
FunctionFunction
[LFY_ARATH] Probable transcription factor that promotes early floral meristem identity in synergy with APETALA1. Is required subsequently for the transition of an inflorescence meristem into a floral meristem, by an immediate upstream regulation of the ABC classes of floral homeotic genes. Activates directly APETALA1, CAULIFLOWER and AGAMOUS, and indirectly APETALA3 and PISTILLATA with the cooperation of UFO.[REFERENCE:6][1] [2]
