Encodes a group-S bZIP transcription factor. Forms heterodimers with group-C bZIP transcription factors. The heterodimers bind to the ACTCAT cis-element of proline dehydrogenase gene.
Computational Description
basic region/leucine zipper motif 53 (BZIP53); FUNCTIONS IN: sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA binding, protein heterodimerization activity, sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; INVOLVED IN: regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; EXPRESSED IN: male gametophyte, pollen tube; EXPRESSED DURING: L mature pollen stage, M germinated pollen stage; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (InterPro:IPR004827), bZIP transcription factor, bZIP-1 (InterPro:IPR011616); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: basic leucine-zipper 44 (TAIR:AT1G75390.1); Has 1452 Blast hits to 1450 proteins in 90 species: Archae - 2; Bacteria - 4; Metazoa - 13; Fungi - 3; Plants - 1410; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 20 (source: NCBI BLink).
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are small open reading frames found in the 5' UTR of a mature mRNA, and can potentially mediate translational regulation of the largest, or major, ORF (mORF). CPuORF3 represents a conserved upstream opening reading frame relative to major ORF AT3G62420.1
Computational Description
conserved peptide upstream open reading frame 3 (CPuORF3); Has 30201 Blast hits to 17322 proteins in 780 species: Archae - 12; Bacteria - 1396; Metazoa - 17338; Fungi - 3422; Plants - 5037; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 2996 (source: NCBI BLink).
