Members of the HD-Zip II and III families are strictly linked to auxin machinery, helping adjust plant architecture (like leaf and root development).
The leucine zipper motif allows these proteins to form homodimers or heterodimers, which is essential for their function. hormon.zip
HD-Zip proteins are unique to the plant kingdom and are characterized by a linked to a leucine zipper (LZ) motif. Members of the HD-Zip II and III families
Critical for vascular development and apical meristem maintenance. particularly from the HD-Zip I family
These proteins originated in green algae and expanded through multiple duplication events to help plants adapt to terrestrial life. Links to Hormone Networks
HD-Zip proteins, particularly from the HD-Zip I family, regulate ABA homeostasis, which is vital for responding to abiotic stresses like drought and salinity.
