Encodes PIN2 PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN 1 (PPP1), an evolutionary conserved plant-specific DNA binding protein that acts on transcription of PIN genes. Also named as HCF145. Mutations in HCF145 have reduced level of the tricistronic psaA-psaB-rps (small-subunit ribosomal protein)14 mRNA which encodes for the major subunits of the photosystem I (PSI). HCF145 binds to the 5'UTR of PSAA via a novel TMR domain. It functions to stabilize the PSAA transcript.
