Official Symbol: STZ
Official Full Name: salt tolerance zinc finger
Primary source: TAIR:AT1G27730
Locus tag: AT1G27730
See related: Araport:AT1G27730
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: salt tolerance zinc finger; T22C5.18; T22C5_18; ZAT10
Summary: Related to Cys2/His2-type zinc-finger proteins found in higher plants. Compensated for a subset of calcineurin deficiency in yeast. Salt tolerance produced by ZAT10 appeared to be partially dependent on ENA1/PMR2, a P-type ATPase required for Li+ and Na+ efflux in yeast. The protein is localized to the nucleus, acts as a transcriptional repressor and is responsive to chitin oligomers. Also involved in response to photooxidative stress.

What's a GeneRIF?

a C(2)H(2)-type zinc finger transcription factor from Arabidopsis, ZAT10, is a substrate of Mitogen-activated protein kinases.
Title: Identification of a C2H2-type zinc finger transcription factor (ZAT10) from Arabidopsis as a substrate of MAP kinase.
Overall, our findings indicate that H(2) acts as a novel and cytoprotective regulator in coupling ZAT10/12-mediated antioxidant defence and maintenance of ion homeostasis in the improvement of Arabidopsis salt tolerance
Title: H(2) enhances arabidopsis salt tolerance by manipulating ZAT10/12-mediated antioxidant defence and controlling sodium exclusion.
Data show thatZAT10 overexpression resulted in enhanced tolerance to photoinhibitory light and exogenous H2O2, increased expression of antioxidative genes whose products are targeted to multiple subcellular compartments.
Title: Systemic and intracellular responses to photooxidative stress in Arabidopsis.
Zat10 plays a key role as both a positive and a negative regulator of plant defenses.
Title: Gain- and loss-of-function mutations in Zat10 enhance the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress.
