Contains the same novel zinc finger motif with LSD1, a negative regulator of cell death and defense response. Due to differential splicing, it encodes two different proteins, one of which contains an additional, putative DNA binding motif. Northern analysis demonstrated that LOL2 transcripts containing the additional DNA binding motif are predominantly upregulated after treatment with both virulent and avirulent Pseudomonas syringae pv maculicola strains.
