TFⅢA型锌指蛋白属于典型的C2H2型锌指蛋白,锌指区具有CX2-4CX3FX5LX2HX3-5H的保守结构。已有研究表明不同植物的TFⅢA型锌指蛋白在非生物胁迫应答反应中发挥了关键的作用。利用TFⅢA家族锌指蛋白基因进行植物耐逆性的遗传改良,可能是今后植物耐逆基因工程改良的又一个重要方向。
The TFⅢA-type zinc finger protein belongs to C2H2-type zinc finger protein family with the finger structure of CX2-4CX3FX5LX2HX3-5H. Recent studies have shown that TFⅢA zinc finger protein family also play important roles in stress responses. It is being believed that TFⅢA zinc finger protein genes will become another target for engineering the biotech crops with enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress.
