Welcome to Trihelix !

Trihelix TF family members have attracted more attention; they feature a typical helix-loop-helix-loop-helix structure with a core sequence of 5′-G-Pu-(T/A)-A-A-(T/A)-3′ in their DNA-binding domain. Because this domain can specifically bind to GT elements required for light response in a DNA sequence, it is also called the GT family. The conserved domain of trihelix is similar to the individual repeats of the MYB family in sequence; therefore, it is generally thought to be derived from MYB-like genes. Trihelix family genes are widely involved in fine-tuning a range of specialized developmental processes including flowers, trichomes, stomata, embryos and seeds, and most importantly, responding to various abiotic stresses in plants.
