NCBI Protein Information
Integrase-type DNA-binding superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes PUCHI, a member of the ERF (ethylene response factor) subfamily B-1 of ERF/AP2 transcription factor family. The protein contains one AP2 domain. There are 15 members in this subfamily including ATERF-3, ATERF-4, ATERF-7, and leafy petiole. PUCHI is required for morphogenesis in the early lateral root primordium of Arabidopsis. Expressed in early floral meristem (stage 1 to 2). Required for early floral meristem growth and for bract suppression. Triple mutant with bop1 and bop2 displays a strong defect in the determination of floral meristem identity with reduced LFY expression and the lack of AP1 expression.

UniProt Comments
Probably acts as a transcriptional activator. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression by stress factors and by components of stress signal transduction pathways . Involved in the control of cell division patterns during the early lateral root primordium development. Acts downstream of auxin signaling (PubMed:17630277). Regulated by ARF7 and ARF19 in response to auxin. Co-acts with LBD16 and LBD18 to control lateral root development (PubMed:23749813). Involved in the determination of floral meristem identity and suppression of bract growth. Required for proper conversion of secondary inflorescences to flowers. Acts together with NPR5/BOP2 and NPR6/BOP1 to promote expression of LFY and AP1, two central regulators of floral meristem identity (PubMed:19482972).
