About: WRKY transcription factor

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

WRKY transcription factors (pronounced ‘worky’) are proteins that bind DNA. They are transcription factors that regulate many processes in plants and algae (Viridiplantae), such as the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination and some developmental processes but also contribute to secondary metabolism. Individual WRKY proteins do appear in the human protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia and slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum.

  • WRKY transcription factors (pronounced ‘worky’) are proteins that bind DNA. They are transcription factors that regulate many processes in plants and algae (Viridiplantae), such as the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination and some developmental processes but also contribute to secondary metabolism. Like many transcription factors, WRKY transcription factors are defined by the presence of a DNA-binding domain; in this case, it is the WRKY domain. The WRKY domain was named in 1996 after the almost invariant WRKY amino acid sequence at the N-terminus and is about 60 residues in length. In addition to containing the ‘WRKY signature’, WRKY domains also possess an atypical zinc-finger structure at the C-terminus (either Cx4-5Cx22-23HxH or Cx7Cx23HxC). Most WRKY transcription factors bind to the W-box promoter element that has a consensus sequence of TTGACC/T. Individual WRKY proteins do appear in the human protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia and slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. (en)
