Transcription factors (TFs) bind DNA at specific sequences to regulate gene expression. This universal process is achieved via their DNA-binding domain (DBD). In mammals, the vast diversity of DBD structural conformations and the way in which they contact DNA has been used to organize TFs in the TFClass hierarchical classification. However, the numerous DBD types present in plants but absent from mammalian genomes were missing from this classification. We reviewed DBD 3D structures and models available for plant TFs to classify most of the 56 recognized plant TF types within the TFClass framework. This extended classification adds eight new classes and 37 new families corresponding to DBD structures absent in mammals. Plant-TFClass provides a unique resource for TF comparison across families and organisms.
转录因子 (TFs) 通过其 DNA 结合域 (DBD) 在特定序列上与 DNA 结合,从而调节基因表达。这种通用的过程是通过其 DNA 结合域 (DBD) 实现的。在哺乳动物中,DBD 结构构象的多样性以及它们与 DNA 接触的方式,被用于在 TFClass 层次分类中组织 TFs。然而,这种分类方法忽略了存在于植物但不存在于哺乳动物基因组中的大量 DBD 类型。我们回顾了植物 TFs 的可用 DBD 3D 结构和模型,以在 TFClass 框架内对大多数 56 种已识别的植物 TF 类型进行分类。这种扩展的分类增加了 8 个新的类和 37 个新的家族,对应于哺乳动物中不存在的 DBD 结构。Plant-TFClass 为跨家族和生物的 TF 比较提供了一个独特的资源。
