Description |
The MYB (myeloblastosis) transcription factor family is present in all eukaryotes. MYB DNA-binding domain, contains ~52 amino acid residues in length and forms a helix-turn-helix fold with three regularly spaced tryptophan residues. Based on the number of adjacent MYB repeats, MYB transcription factors are classified into four major groups, namely 1R-MYB, 2R-MYB, 3R-MYB and 4R-MYB containing one, two, three and four MYB repeats, respectively. In plant in some proteins together with a classic Myb repeat, a type-B ARR proteins domain is also present. ARR –B domain is involved in His?Asp phosphorelay signaling. This kind of response regulator domain and myb domain together appears to be a present only in plants, which belong to the GARP subfamily.
