| Description | LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins were first identified in land plants. Plant LEA proteins have been found to accumulate to high levels during the last stage of seed formation (when a natural desiccation of the seed tissues takes place) and during periods of water deficit in vegetative organs. Later, LEA homologues have also been found in various species [ , ]. They have been classified into several subgroups in Pfam and according to Bray and Dure [].This entry represents Pfam LEA_4, or D-7, D-29 from Dure. Proteins in this entry includes LEA3 from wheat [ , ], ECP63 and At3g53040 from Arabidopsis. Their function is not clear. However, ECP63 has been linked to BHLH109-mediated regulation of somatic embryogenesis, and At3g53040 may be involved in the re-establishment of desiccation tolerance in germinated seeds [ ]. This entry also includes uncharacterised proteins from bacteria. |
