Abstract:

Dof proteins (DNA binding with one finger) are plant-specific transcription factors, which include the Dof structural domain of conservative zinc finger in the N-terminal and can specifically identify AAAG sequences. Dof transcription factors are showed a variety of functions, due to the variable C-terminal. The C-terminal is a specific transcriptional regulatory structural domain of Dof proteins. The functions of Dof transcription factors are mainly related with the vascular development, leaf polarity, specific-gene regulation of guard cell, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, seed development and germination, light response, the flowering of photoperiodic regulation, pollen development, secondary metabolites synthesis, defensive reaction, auxin response and other physiological processes in plants. In this paper, these processes are summarized as tissue differentiation, seed development, and metabolic regulation, which provide a reference for application research of Dof transcription factors by analyzing its structural characteristics and functions.

Key words: Plant, Dof transcription factor, Structural characteristics, Function
