Welcome to Tify !

The TIFY transcription factors are characterized by a highly conserved tify domain, Jas and CCT motifs. The tify domain contains 28 amino acids and a core motif, TIF[F/Y]XG, in which 13 out of 28 amino acid sites are invariant. All genes encoding proteins containing a tify domain should group together in the TIFY family. According to secondary structure prediction analysis, the TIFY domain was predicted to form an alpha-alpha-beta fold. TIFY genes play the critical roles in plant stress-responses, and it has been shown that JAZ proteins function as inhibitors in the jasmonate signaling pathway. Multiple factors can rapidly activate the expression of JAZ proteins in the plant developmental stages, such as leaf and root growth.
