| Primary Identifier | IPR051358 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | TF_AMS/ICE1/BHLH6-like |
| description | This entry includes bHLH transcription factors from plants that play diverse roles in plant development and responses. ICE1 is involved in regulating cold-induced transcription of CBF/DREB1 genes, and stomatal differentiation [, ]. Transcription factor FIT is involved in iron acquisition []while AMS (ABORTED MICROSPORES) plays a crucial role in tapetum development and it is required for male fertility and pollen differentiation, especially during the post-meiotic transcriptional regulation of microspore development within the developing anther []. Transcription factor BHLB6 is involved in phosphate starvation response []and acts as a positive regulator of phosphate homeostasis and phosphate signalling by antagonising SPX4. It also playa a role as transcriptional activator in the regulation of jasmonate-mediated stress-inducible gene expression[]. The family is characterised by the ability to bind specific DNA sequences, often containing E-box motifs, and to function as dimers, which is crucial for their regulatory roles. |
