    CAM7 and HY5 genetically interact to regulate root growth and abscisic acid responses
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2014) Abbas, Nazia; Chattopadhyay, Sudip
    CAM7, a member of CaM family in Arabidopsis, acts as a transcriptional regulator and enhances photomorphogenic growth and light regulated gene expression under various light conditions. HY5, a bZIP transcription factor, promotes photomorphogenesis at multiple wavelengths of light including far red, red, and blue light. Very recently, it has been shown that CAM7 and HY5 directly interact with the HY5 promoter to regulate the transcriptional activity of HY5 during Arabidopsis seedling development. In this study, we have investigated the root phenotype of cam7 hy5 double mutants and shown that CAM7 and HY5 genetically interact to control the root growth. We have further shown an interdependent function of HY5 and CAM7 in abscisic acid (ABA) responsiveness.

    Molecular interaction of bZIP domains of GBF1, HY5 and HYH in Arabidopsis seedling development
    (Taylor & Francis, 2013) Ram, Hathi; Chattopadhyay, Sudip
    The bZIP proteins, GBF1, HY5 and HYH, play important regulatory roles in Arabidopsis seedling development. Whereas GBF1 plays a dual regulatory role, HY5 and HYH act as positive regulators of photomorphogenesis. The molecular and functional relations of GBF1 with HY5 and HYH in photomorphogenesis have recently been demonstrated. However, the possible interaction of bZIP domain of each of these proteins remains to be investigated. In this study, our results suggest that bZIP domains of HY5 and HYH are able to interact with the bZIP domain of GBF1. Taken together with the earlier study, (9) these results suggest that the N-terminal domain of GBF1 has an inhibitory effect on its interaction with HY5 and HYH.
