Abscisic acid (ABA) plays crucial roles in plant development and adaption to environmental stresses. The ABA-responsive element binding protein/ABRE-binding factor and ABA INSENSITIVE 5 (AREB/ABF/ABI5) gene subfamily members, which belong to the basic domain/leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors family, participate in the ABA-mediated signaling pathway by regulating the expression of their target genes. However, information about potato (Solanum tuberosum) AREB/ABF/ABI5 subfamily members remains scarce. Here, seven putative AREB/ABF/ABI5 members were identified in the potato genome. Sequences alignment revealed that these members shared high protein sequence similarity, especially in the bZIP region, indicating that they might possess overlapping roles in regulating gene expression. Subcellular localization analysis illustrated that all seven AREB/ABF/ABI5 members were localized in the nucleus. Transactivation activity assays in yeast demonstrated that these AREB/ABF/ABI5 members possessed distinct transcriptional activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) confirmed that all of these AREB/ABF/ABI5 members could have an affinity to ABRE in vitro. The expression patterns of these AREB/ABF/ABI5 genes showed that they were in response to ABA or osmotic stresses in varying degrees. Moreover, most AREB/ABF/ABI5 genes were induced during stolon swelling. Overall, these results provide the first comprehensive identification of the potato AREB/ABF/ABI5 subfamily and would facilitate further functional characterization of these subfamily members in future work.

NIH genetic sequence database that provides annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences for almost 280 000 formally described species (Jan 2014) .These sequences are obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing projects, including whole-genome shotgun (WGS) and environmental sampling projects. Most submissions are made using web-based BankIt or standalone Sequin programs, and GenBank staff assigns accession numbers upon data receipt. It is part of International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration and daily data exchange with European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through NCBI Entrez retrieval system, which integrates data from major DNA and protein sequence databases along with taxonomy, genome, mapping, protein structure and domain information, and biomedical journal literature via PubMed. BLAST provides sequence similarity searches of GenBank and other sequence databases. Complete bimonthly releases and daily updates of GenBank database are available by FTP.
View all literature mentionsA tool to design target-specific primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It uses Primer3 to design PCR primers and then uses BLAST and global alignment algorithm to screen primers against user-selected database in order to avoid primer pairs (all combinations including forward-reverse primer pair, forward-forward as well as reverse-reverse pairs) that can cause non-specific amplifications.
View all literature mentionsA database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).
