HYH

Gene
HYH
Protein
Transcription factor HY5-like
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
149 amino acids
Function
Transcription factor that promotes photomorphogenesis in light. Acts downstream of the light receptor network and directly affects transcription of light-induced genes. Specifically involved in the blue light specific pathway, suggesting that it participates in transmission of cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2) signals to downstream responses. In darkness, its degradation prevents the activation of light-induced genes.
Similarity
Belongs to the bZIP family.
