In plants, basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factors regulate processes including pathogen defence, light and stress signalling, seed maturation and flower development. The Arabidopsis genome sequence contains 75 distinct members of the bZIP family, of which approximately 50 are not described in the literature. Using common domains, the AtbZIP family can be subdivided into ten groups. Here, we review the available data on bZIP functions in the context of subgroup membership and discuss the interacting proteins. This integration is essential for a complete functional characterization of bZIP transcription factors in plants, and to identify functional redundancies among AtbZIP factors.
在植物中，碱性区域/亮氨酸拉链基序（bZIP）转录因子调控包括病原体防御、光和胁迫信号传导、种子成熟以及花发育等过程。拟南芥基因组序列包含bZIP家族的75个不同成员，其中约50个在文献中未被描述。利用共同结构域，拟南芥bZIP家族可细分为十组。在此，我们在亚组成员的背景下综述了关于bZIP功能的现有数据，并讨论了相互作用蛋白。这种整合对于全面功能性表征植物中的bZIP转录因子以及鉴定拟南芥bZIP因子之间的功能冗余至关重要。
