Abstract

The GATA family of transcription factors containing the conserved motif C-xx-C-x17-C-xx-C is conserved across all eukaryotic kingdoms. These proteins have been shown to control key developmental and metabolic genes in vertebrates, invertebrates and fungi. They have also been identified in plants but as yet there is no information relating to either the functions or DNA binding specificity. This proposal outlines a series of experiments aimed at defining the expression dynamics and function of the four Arabidopsis thaliana GATA family gene members.
