Function
Is associated with a DNA binding complex that binds to the G box, a well-characterized cis-acting DNA regulatory element found in plant genes (PubMed:7972511, PubMed:7870824, PubMed:16407442). Involved in the regulation of nutrient metabolism (PubMed:22104211, PubMed:21094157). Reciprocal negative transcription regulation of miR396 (PubMed:22751317). Negative regulator of constitutive freezing tolerance and cold acclimation by controlling cold-induced gene expression partially through an ethylene (ET)-dependent pathway; prevents ethylene (ET) biosynthesis, probably by binding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthases (ACS) to reduce their stability, thus contributing to establish adequate ET levels under both standard and low-temperature conditions (PubMed:25122152).
