Description:
Rhizobial Nod factors induce in their legume hosts the expression of many genes and set in motion developmental processes leading to root nodule formation. Here we report the identification of the Medicago GRAS-type protein Nodulation signaling pathway 1 (NSP1), which is essential for all known Nod factor-induced changes in gene expression. NSP1 is constitutively expressed, and so it acts as a primary transcriptional regulator mediating all known Nod factor-induced transcriptional responses, and therefore, we named it a Nod factor response factor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smit, Patrick -- Raedts, John -- Portyanko, Vladimir -- Debelle, Frederic -- Gough, Clare -- Bisseling, Ton -- Geurts, Rene -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jun 17;308(5729):1789-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Science, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Wageningen University, Wageningen 6703 HA, Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15961669" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
