“…For instance, DREBs (including TINY, CBF1, ERF53, RAP2.4, and TG/RAP2.4A) and ERFs (including ERF1, ERF4, and ERF71) bind to both DRE and ERE elements (Lin et al, 2008; Sun et al, 2008; Yang et al, 2009; Cheng et al, 2012; Zhu et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2015). Similarly, the conserved DNA binding preferences of AP2/ERF are also expanded to other species such as rice (Wan et al, 2011), wheat (Gao et al, 2018), maize (Liu et al, 2013), soybean ( Glycine max ) (Zhang et al, 2009), and tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) (Park et al, 2001). Recently, the combination of high-throughput protein-binding microarray and relevant transcriptome data demonstrated that transcription factors with high structure identity share similar DNA binding sites, which also enables them to share some biological relevance and explains their functional redundancy (Franco-Zorrilla et al, 2014).…”
