Encodes a transcription factor of the TCP family involved in the regulation of the circadian clock.
Phenotype
Overexpressor:CHE overexpressor has reduced CCA1 expression levels. [Pruneda-Paz et al., 2009]Single mutant:che single mutant does not show any circadian clock defect. [Pruneda-Paz et al., 2009]Multiple mutant:che;lhy multiple mutant has a shorter circadian clock period than the lhy single mutant. [Pruneda-Paz et al., 2009]Remarks: CHE represses the expression of CCA1. [Pruneda-Paz et al., 2009]Function:Transcription factor involved in the regulation of the circadian clock. Acts as a repressor of CCA1 by binding to its promoter. No binding to the LHY promoter. [Data from UniProt]
