43 results about "Activating transcription factor" patented technology

Activating transcription factor, ATF, is a group of bZIP transcription factors, which act as homodimers or heterodimers with a range of other bZIP factors. First, they have been described as members of the CREB/ATF family, whereas it turned out later that some of them might be more similar to AP-1-like factors such as c-Jun or c-Fos. In general, ATFs are known to respond to extracellular signals and this suggests an important role that they have in maintaining homeostasis. Some of these ATFs, such as ATF3, ATF4, and ATF6 are known to play a role in stress responses. Another example of ATF function would be ATFx that can suppress apoptosis.

The invention discloses a novel cotton fiber secondary development specific expression gene GhNAC1 full-length sequence, and relates to an important cotton fiber development-associated regulator gene element. The GhNAC1 gene contains three exons and two introns, and is coded with an NAC (N Acetyl L Cysteine) transcription factor. A large quantity of mRNAs (messenger Ribonucleic Acids) of the gene are accumulated specifically at the secondary development stage of the cotton fiber cells, which indicates that the gene is a fiber secondary wall development specific gene. GhNAC1 protein is positioned in a cell nucleolus and has the capability of activating transcription independently, which indicates that the protein serving as a transcription activating factor plays a role in cotton fiber development. GhNAC1 is expressed excessively in arabidopsis, so that leaves crimp upwards, cell walls are thickened, ectopic sedimentation of lignin and the like is detected in foliar epidermic cells, so that the hemicellulose content of foliar cells is greatly increased. As proved by the results, the GhNAC1 can be used for regulating the biosynthesis of cell secondary walls, and plays a key role in the developing process of cotton fiber.
