Welcome to R2R3-MYB !

Myeloblastosis (MYB) genes are one of the largest transcription factors families in plants, animals, and fungi. MYB typically contain an MYB-binding domain at the N-terminus, composed of 1-4 imperfect repeats, with approximately 51-52 amino acid residues of incomplete conserved peptides encoding three α-helices. These three α-helices form a helix-turn-helix (HTH) structure and fold with three relatively conserved tryptophan residues, separated by 18-19 amino acid residues of regular arrangement, and further participate in the formation of hydrophobic interactions. The R2R3-MYB family is widely involved in various physiological activities of plants, such as responding to environmental factors and plant hormones, participating in the regulation of primary and secondary metabolism, regulating cell cycle and cell differentiation, and leaf morphogenesis.
