Transcription factor BRX N-terminal domain The BREVIS RADIX (BRX) domain was characterized as being a transcription factor in plants regulating the extent of cell proliferation and elongation in the growth zone of the root. BRX is rate limiting for auxin-responsive gene-expression by mediating cross-talk with the brassino-steroid pathway. BRX has a ubiquitous, although quantitatively variable role in modulating the growth rate in both the root and the shoot. This family features a short region, also alpha-helical, N-terminal to the repeated alpha-helices of family BRX, pfam08381. BRX is expressed in the vasculature and is rate-limiting for transcriptional auxin action.
