High impact information on ZFP1

SUPPRESSOR OF FRIGIDA4, Encoding a C2H2-Type Zinc Finger Protein, Represses Flowering by Transcriptional Activation of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C [1].
Zinc finger transcription factors (TFs(ZF)) were designed and applied to transgene and endogenous gene regulation in stably transformed plants [2].
AtZFP1, encoding Arabidopsis thaliana C2H2 zinc-finger protein 1, is expressed downstream of photomorphogenic activation [3].
Furthermore, AtZFP1 expression does not depend on active photosynthesis as shown by analysis of plants grown on the carotenoid biosynthetic inhibitor norflurazon [3].
Under conditions which induce or mimic photomorphogenic development including growth in the light, shifting dark-grown plants to continuous light or growth on cytokinin in the dark, high levels of AtZFP1 expression are detected [3].

Biological context of ZFP1

SUPERMAN, AtZFP1, PetSPL3 and BcZFP1 have been implicated in the developmental regulation of various floral and vegetative organs, presumably through the control of cell division and/or expansion in particular cell types [4].
