“…All three WHY proteins bind single-stranded DNA, and perhaps RNA, in a sequence-nonspecific manner (Desveaux et al, 2002;Bach-Pages et al, 2020). WHY1 is partitioned between the nucleus and chloroplast (Krause et al, 2005;Grabowski et al, 2008); however, the mechanisms that might determine its distribution in the cell are only starting to emerge (Ren et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2019). In the nucleus, WHY1 controls the expression of transcription factors, defense genes, and senescence genes by binding their promoters (Krupinska et al, 2013;Ren et al, 2017).…”
