Protein
Transcription factor TIP2
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Transcription factor that binds to the E-box-containing promoter regions of the transcription factors TDR and EAT1, activating their expression. May have a role in specifying the cell pattern of the inner anther walls and functioning in meiosis progression. Required for male reproduction (PubMed:24755456). Acts downstream of UDT1 and GAMYB, but upstream of TDR1 and EAT1 in pollen development (PubMed:24894043).
Similarity
Belongs to the bHLH protein family.
