NCBI Protein Information
WRKY DNA-binding protein 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes WRKY transcription factor 2, a zinc-finger protein. In wrky2 mutants, egg cells polarize normally but zygotes fail to reestablish polar organelle positioning from a transient symmetric state, resulting in equal cell division and distorted embryo development.

UniProt Comments
Transcription factor. Regulates WOX8 and WOX9 expression and basal cell division patterns during early embryogenesis. Interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element. Required to repolarize the zygote from a transient symmetric state.
