NCBI Protein Information
basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family protein BIM1 (BES1-INTERACTING MYC-LIKE 1), involved in brassinosteroid signaling. It synergistically interacts with BES1 to bind to E box sequences (CANNTG). Positively modulates the shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis seedlings.

UniProt Comments
Positive brassinosteroid-signaling protein. Transcription factor that bind specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'(E box). Can bind individually to the promoter as a homodimer or synergistically as a heterodimer with BZR2/BES1. Does not itself activate transcription but enhances BZR2/BES1-mediated target gene activation.
