Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The RF2a acidic domain fused to ZF-TF 2C7 increased reporter expression up to seven times in transgenic Arabidopsis
- Intervention effect The A5 subdomain (amino acids 56-84) was as effective an activator as the entire acidic domain in tobacco BY-2 protoplasts
- Intervention effect The A and A5 domains were as effective in transcription activation as the VP16 activation domain
- Observation The A5 domain is present only in b-ZIP transcription factors
- Observation The A5 domain is predicted to form an anti-parallel beta sheet structure
