Short Name | RS2/Asn1 |
description | This entry represents a group of Myb transcription factors from plants, including protein rough sheath 2 (RS2) and ASSYMMETRIC LEAVES1 (Asn1) [, ]. They repress Knotted1-type homeobox (KNOX) genes and are required to establish determinacy during leaf development. RS2/AS1 interacts with the DNA binding factor ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2, a predicted RNA binding protein (RIK, for RS2-Interacting KH protein), and a homologue of the chromatin-remodeling protein HIRA. Together with HIRA, RS2/AS1 mediates the epigenetic silencing of knox genes, possibly by modulating chromatin structure []. |
