NCBI Summary
BASIC PENTACYSTEINE1 (BPC1) is a regulator of the homeotic Arabidopsis thaliana gene SEEDSTICK (STK), which controls ovule identity. BPC1 induces conformational changes by cooperative binding to purine-rich elements present in the STK regulatory sequence. STK is upregulated in bpc1 mutant.

UniProt Comments
Transcriptional regulator that specifically binds to GA-rich elements (GAGA-repeats) present in regulatory sequences of genes involved in developmental processes. Negatively regulates the homeotic gene AGL11/STK, which controls ovule primordium identity, by a cooperative binding to purine-rich elements present in the regulatory sequence leading to DNA conformational changes.
