FLC regulation through protein complexes
General processes & autonomous pathway

Protein function

Encodes a subunit of Paf1C-like complex.

Phenotype

Remarks:
vip4 single mutant has reduced FLC expression levels. [Zhang et al., 2002]

Single mutant:
vip4 single mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions. [He et al., 2004][Oh et al., 2004][Zhao et al., 2005][Kim et al., 2006][Zhang et al., 2002]

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 flowering repressor and MADS box gene FLC (PubMed:12207655). Involved in the control of seed dormancy and germination (PubMed:21799800). [Data from UniProt]
