Protein function
Encodes a subunit of Paf1C-like complex.
Phenotype
Remarks: ELF8 encodes a component of the Paf1c complex, which is involved in the postivie regulation of
FLC expression..
[Yu et al., 2010] Remarks: elf8 mutation supresses the
FLC-dependent late flowering of the Col
FRI background. ELF8 also affects flowering through the regulation of other MADS-box genes.
[He et al., 2004] Remarks: elf8 single mutant has reduced
FLC expression levels.
[He et al., 2004][Zhang et al., 2003] Single mutant: elf8 single mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions.
[He et al., 2004][Gu et al., 2009] Function:Component of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) which is involved in histone modifications such as methylation on histone H3 Lys-4 (H3K4me3) (PubMed:20363855). Involved in regulation of flowering time. Required for the expression of the MADS box genes and flowering repressors FLC, AGL27/FLM and AGL31/MAF2 (PubMed:15520273, PubMed:15472079). Required for histone H3 trimethylation on Lys-4 H3K4me3 at the FLC and AGL27/FLM loci (PubMed:15520273). Involved in the control of seed dormancy and germination (PubMed:21799800).
