MtHAP2-1 is a key transcriptional regulator of symbiotic nodule development regulated by microRNA169 in Medicago truncatula
Article Abstract:
A new transcription factor of the CCAAT-binding family, MtHAP2-1, is identified in the model legume Medicago truncatula, for which RNA interference (RNAi) and in situ hybridization experiments have indicated a key role during nodule development. The complementary expression pattern of miR169 and MtHAP2-1 and the phenotype of miR-resistant MtHAP2-1 nodules have suggested that the miR169-mediated restriction of MtHAP2-1 expression to the nodule meristematic zone is necessary for the differentiation of nodule cells.

The myocardin family of transcriptional coactivators: Versatile regulators of cell growth, migration, and myogenesis
Article Abstract:
The functions and mechanism of action of the myocardin family of coactivators and the physiological significance of transcriptional coactivation in the context of signal-dependent and cell-type-specific gene regulation are reviewed. Members of the myocardin family of coactivators activate genes involved in cell proliferation, migration, and myogenesis by associating with serum response factor (SRF).

A Kruppel-like zinc finger protein is involved in nitrogen-fixing root nodule organogenesis
Article Abstract:
Mechanisms that regulate plant host differentiation of the nitrogen-fixing root nodules are little known. Antisense Mszpt 2-1 plants were affected in formation of the central nitrogen-fixing region of the root nodule, and it has been found that a Kruppel-like zinc finger protein is a factor in nitrogen-fixing root nodule organogenesis.
