IRO

IRO

Motif in Iroquois-class homeodomain proteins (only). Unknown function.
SMART ACC:SM000548
Description: -
InterPro ACC:IPR003893
InterPro abstract:

This is a motif found only in Iroquois-class homeodomain proteins. It has unknown function. Examples include iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-4, and homeobox proteins caupolican and araucan, which control proneural and vein forming genesand are positive transcriptional controllers of achaete-scute. They may act as activators that interact with the transcriptional initiation complex assembled … expand
