AP2-EREBP Transcription Factor Family

The APETELA2(AP2) family is part of the larger AP2/ERF superfamily that also contains the ERF and RAV families. The superfamily is defined by the presence of the approximately 60 amino acid AP2 domain that is involved in DNA binding and may be related to site-specific endonucleases that are found in bacteria and bacteriophages . In general, the ERF proteins have one AP2 domain, the AP2 proteins have two and the RAV proteins contain an AP2 domain together with another DNA binding domain, the B3 domain .
  • 321 putative AP2-EREBP TF peptide, CDS, and cDNA sequences; blast HSP output, and multiple sequence alignment.
  • 321 AP2 domain peptide sequences with alignment, and phylogeny tree in circle and radiation formats.
  • Please also check the related ERF family with EFR promoter expression patterns.
  • 176 AP2-EREBP protein and DNA sequences with annotations and structure information for soybean in PlantTFDB. Most are partial sequences.
