Abstract
TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 (TTG1) is a WD40 repeat protein. The phenotypes caused by loss-of-function of TTG1 were observed about half a century ago, but the TTG1 gene was identified only about twenty years ago. Since then, TTG1 has been found to be a plant-specific regulator with multiple roles and multiple functional mechanisms. TTG1 is involved in the regulation of cell fate determination, secondary metabolisms, accumulation of seed storage reserves, plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and flowering time in plants. In some processes, TTG1 may directly or indirectly regulate the expression of downstream target genes via forming transcription activator complexes with R2R3 MYB and bHLH transcription factors. Whereas in other processes, TTG1 may function alone or interact with other proteins to regulate downstream target genes. On the other hand, the studies on the regulation of TTG1 are very limited. So far, only the B3-domain family transcription factor FUSCA3 (FUS3) has been found to regulate the expression of TTG1, phosphorylation of TTG1 affects its interaction with bHLH transcription factor TT2, and TTG1 proteins can be targeted for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Here, we provide an overview of TTG1, including the identification of TTG1, the functions of TTG1, the possible function mechanisms of TTG1, and the regulation of TTG1. We also proposed potential research directions that may shed new light on the regulation and functional mechanisms of TTG1 in plants.
