Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation In the yeast two-hybrid system, Arabidopsis BEL1 can selectively heterodimerize with specific KNAT homeodomain proteins.
- Mechanism The BEL1-KNAT interaction is mediated by BEL1 sequences N terminal to the homeodomain and KNAT sequences including the MEINOX domain.
- Observation In yeast, BEL1 and KNAT proteins can activate transcription only as a heterodimeric complex.
- Observation BEL1 and SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) expression patterns overlap within the inflorescence meristem.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the findings as validating that the MEINOX domain has been conserved between plants and animals as an interaction domain for developmental regulators.
