MADS Domain Proteins

MADS-domänproteiner

Svensk definition

En superfamilj av proteiner som alla har en starkt konserverad MADS-domänsekvens. Akronymen MADS kommer av de fyra först identifierade medlemmarna, MCM1-protein, AGAMOUS-protein, DEFICIENS-protein och serumresponsfaktor. Många MADS-domänproteiner har påvisats hos arter inom alla eukaryota riken. De spelar en viktig roll i utvecklingsprocessen, i synnerhet hos växter, där de är av stor betydelse för blombildningen.

Engelsk definition

A superfamily of proteins that share a highly conserved MADS domain sequence motif. The term MADS refers to the first four members which were MCM1 PROTEIN; AGAMOUS 1 PROTEIN; DEFICIENS PROTEIN; and SERUM RESPONSE FACTOR. Many MADS domain proteins have been found in species from all eukaryotic kingdoms. They play an important role in development, especially in plants where they have an important role in flower development.
