Protein function

Encodes an homeodomain-containing protein involved in the stabilization of the R-loop at the FLC locus.

Phenotype

Single mutant:
atndx single mutant is late flowering under LD conditions. ( No data under SD conditions.) [Sun et al., 2013]

Remarks:
ATNDX was originally identified in a screen for modification of COOLAIR (antisense FLC transcript) expression. atndx single mutant shows reduced COOLAIR expression. ATNDX is involved in the stablilization of the R-loop that represses the transcription of COOLAIR. [Sun et al., 2013]

Function:
Regulates COOLAIR, a set of antisense transcripts originating from the 3 end of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Associates with single-stranded DNA that is part of an RNA-DNA hybrid, or R-loop, that covers the COOLAIR promoter. R-loop stabilization mediated by NDX inhibits COOLAIR transcription, which in turn modifies FLC expression. [Data from UniProt]
