    Summary
    Encodes MINI ZINC FINGER 1 (MIF1) which has a zinc finger domain but lacks other protein motifs normally present in transcription factors. MIF1 physically interact with a group of zinc finger-homeodomain (ZHD) transcription factors, such as ZHD5 (AT1G75240), that regulate floral architecture and leaf development. Gel mobility shift assays revealed that MIF1 blocks the DNA binding activity of ZHD5 homodimers by competitively forming MIF1-ZHD5 heterodimers. Constitutive overexpression of MIF1 caused dramatic developmental defects, seedlings were non-responsive to gibberellin (GA) for cell elongation, hypersensitive to the GA synthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol (PAC) and abscisic acid (ABA), and hyposensitive to auxin, brassinosteroid and cytokinin, but normally responsive to ethylene.
