Protein function
Encodes a zinc finger protein involved in the regulation of
FLC expression.
Phenotype
Overexpressor: FES1 overexpressor does not display any flowering-time phenotype.
[Schmitz et al., 2005] Single mutant: fes1 single mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions in the Col
FRI background. ( The flowering-time phenotype of the single mutant is only visible in the Col
FRI background.)
[Schmitz et al., 2005] Remarks: FES1 is involved in the upregulation of
FLC expression and its mutation leads to the complete suppression of FRI-mediated delayed flowering.
[Schmitz et al., 2005] Function:Transcriptional activator involved in the FRIGIDA-mediated vernalization pathway, but not in the autonomous flowering pathway. Acts cooperatively with FRI (FRIGIDA) or FRL1 (FRIGIDA-LIKE 1) to promote FLC (FLOWERING LOCUS C) expression. Required for the stabilization of the FRI-C complex.
