SPL3 squamosa promoter binding protein-like 3 [Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress)] - Gene

Summary

Go to the top of the page Help

Gene symbol: SPL3
Gene description: squamosa promoter binding protein-like 3
Primary source: Araport:AT2G33810
Locus tag: AT2G33810
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: squamosa promoter binding protein-like 3; T1B8.11; T1B8_11
Summary: Encodes a member of the SPL (squamosa-promoter binding protein-like)gene family, a novel gene family encoding DNA binding proteins and putative transcription factors. Contains the SBP-box, which encodes the SBP-domain, required and sufficient for interaction with DNA. It binds DNA, may directly regulate AP1, and is involved in regulation of flowering and vegetative phase change. Its temporal expression is regulated by the microRNA miR156. The target site for the microRNA is in the 3'UTR.
