DDT Transcription Factor Family

Doerks et al. 2001: Homology-based sequence analyses have revealed the presence of a novel domain (DDT) in bromodomain PHD finger transcription factors (BPTFs), chromatin remodeling factors of the BAZ-family and other putative nuclear proteins. This domain is characterized by a number of conserved aromatic and charged residues and is predicted to consist of three alpha helices. Recent studies indicate a likely DNA-binding function for the DDT domain. Notes: DDT is missed in PlantTFDB and TOBFAC.
  • 4 predicted putative DDT TF peptide, CDS, and cDNA sequences; blast HSP results, and multiple sequence alignment in Soy - TFKB.
  • 5 DDT genes listed in PlnTFDB for Arabidopsis.
