Function
Transcription factor that binds to the C-box-like motif (5'-TGCTGACGTCA-3') and G-box-like motif (5'-CCACGTGGCC-3'), ABRE elements, of gene promoters involved in sugar signaling. Activated by low energy stress both at transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Promotes dark-induced senescence and participates in the transcriptional reprogramming of amino acid metabolism during the dark-induced starvation response (PubMed:20080816, PubMed:21278122). Transcription activator of the mannan synthase CSLA9. Recognizes and binds to DNA-specific sequence of CSLA9 promoter (PubMed:24243147).
