Description : (at1g12860 : 94.4) Encodes ICE2 (Inducer of CBF Expression 2), a transcription factor of the bHLH family that participates in the response to deep freezing through the cold acclimation-dependent pathway. Overexpression of ICE2 results in increased tolerance to deep freezing stress after cold acclimation.; SCREAM 2 (SCRM2); FUNCTIONS IN: DNA binding, sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; INVOLVED IN: response to freezing, guard mother cell differentiation, regulation of transcription; LOCATED IN: nucleus; EXPRESSED IN: 20 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain (InterPro:IPR001092), Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding (InterPro:IPR011598); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein (TAIR:AT3G26744.4); Has 4150 Blast hits to 4134 proteins in 202 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 1; Metazoa - 48; Fungi - 52; Plants - 4003; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 46 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 188.8) & (original description: no original description)
