Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a MYC-related transcriptional activator with a typical DNA binding domain of a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper motif. Binds to an extended G-Box promoter motif and interacts with Jasmonate ZIM-domain proteins. MYC2 interacts with EIN3 and EIL1 to repress hook curvature and resistance to Botrytis cinera.Its transcription is induced by dehydration stress, ABA treatment and blue light via CRY1. Negative regulator of blue light-mediated photomorphogenic growth and blue and far-red-light-regulated gene expression. Positive regulator of lateral root formation. Regulates diverse JA-dependent functions. Negatively regulates Trp metabolism and biosynthesis of Trp-derived secondary metabolites. Positively regulates flavonoid biosynthesis, resistance to insects, and response to oxidative stress. Regulates other transcription factors, and negatively regulates its own expression. For example it binds to and regulates the expression of NST1. Its stability is modulated by PUB10 through polyubiquitination.
