  Basic leucine zipper proteins (bZIP), characteristically harbored a typical bZIP domain, play important roles in regulating diverse biological by acting as transcription factors. In this investigation, total 116 apple bZIP members (M.bZIP) were identified in the genome and were divided into six groups according to the phylogenetic relationship. Their chromosomal distribution and sequence similarity analysis suggested that the M.bZIP family has evolved via apple gene duplication events. By comparing the encoding sequences with the sequence in the genome, five splicing patterns of intron were found in the basic and hinge region of bZIP domain. To predict functions of M.bZIPs, analysis of protein sequences have been done. There were 24 additional conserved motifs apart from bZIP domain have been identified. Dimerization prediction suggested that almost all M.bZIPs could form hetero-dimer.. Read More»
