Protein function
Encodes a chromatin-binding protein.
Phenotype
Multiple mutant: mrg1;
mrg2 multiple mutant is late flowering under LD conditions only.
[Bu et al., 2014] Single mutant: mrg2 single mutant does not display any flowering-time phenotype.
[Bu et al., 2014] Remarks: MRG2 binds to the
FT promoter in a H3K4me3/H3K36me3- and CO-dependent manner.
[Bu et al., 2014] Function:Chromatin remodeling factor. Acts as a reader protein by binding to H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 to control histone H4 acetylation. Increases the transcriptional levels of the flowering time genes FLC and FT (PubMed:25183522, PubMed:25211338). Binds the chromatin at the FT promoter upon interaction with CO (PubMed:25211338).
