Gene Details:

• Gene ID: A4A49_16179
• Suggest Gene Name: PHOTOPERIOD-INDEPENDENT EARLY FLOWERING 1
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Nicotiana attenuata
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF00271    PF07529    PF00176

Functional Descriptions:

• Encodes a protein similar to ATP-dependent, chromatin-remodeling proteins of the ISWI and SWI2/SNF2 family. Genetic analyses suggest that this gene is involved in multiple flowering pathways. Mutations in PIE1 results in suppression of FLC-mediated delay of flowering and causes early flowering in noninductive photoperiods independently of FLC. PIE1 is required for expression of FLC in the shoot apex but not in the root.Along with ARP6 forms a complex to deposit modified histone H2A.Z at several loci within the genome. This modification alters the expression of the target genes (i.e. FLC, MAF4, MAF6).
