HSFA5 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS6D02G083800 (TaHSFA5) on chromosome 6D encodes a protein with an HSF-type DNA-binding domain and is annotated as having sequence-specific DNA binding, RNA Polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, identical protein binding, and DNA binding transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with cellular response to heat, thermomorphogenesis, downregulation of biological process, anthocyanin accumulation in tissues in response to UV light, flower morphogenesis, meristem initiation, meristem maintenance, determination of bilateral symmetry, polarity specification of the adaxial/abaxial axis, vascular tissue pattern formation, cell wall organization, cell tip growth, hormone mediated signalling, and regulation of transcription by RNA Polymerase II. It is also linked to high temperature stress response and heat stress response. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the HSFA5 family to thermotolerance.
