Research Progress on Stress-related RING Finger Proteins in Plants

doi:10.14088/j.cnki.issn0439-8114.2018.06.001

Abstract

Abstract: Zinc finger proteins form a relatively large family of transcription factors in plants. The RING finger proteins represent a subgroup of Zinc finger proteins that contain specialized structures of ring finger domain. Proteins containing RING finger domain（s） were found to play important roles in plant growth and development, as well as responses to stress. Here the structural characteristics, classification and subcellular localization of RING finger proteins were introduced, the recent functional characterization studies of RING finger proteins in response to abiotic and biotic stresses were mainly highlighted, and a prospect for further in-depth research was made, with the hope that a relatively comprehensive reference for the creation of new germplasm with stress resistance using plant RING finger proteins could be provided.

Key words: RING finger proteins, zinc finger, abiotic stress, biotic stress
