J2 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

J2 (SOLYC12G038510.2) on tomato chromosome 12 encodes a protein with MADS-box and K-box domains, and is annotated with RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription factor binding, RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA-binding transcription factor activity (RNA polymerase II-specific), protein dimerization activity, DNA binding, and DNA binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with meristem determinacy, regulation of meristem development, specification of floral organ identity, carpel development, floral meristem determinacy, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, cell differentiation, flower development, and DNA-dependent transcription. It is linked to sepal size and localises to the nucleus. Related genes in other species, including MADS-box transcription factors, connect the family to floral organ identity and meristem development.
