Molecular Mechanism of MBF1 Regulating Plant Development and Stress Response

MBF1 (multiprotein bridging factor 1) is a transcriptional co-activator, which is highly conserved in evolution. It can activate gene transcription by connecting components of the basal transcription machinery and transcription factors. In this article, the molecular structure and mode of action of MBF1 were briefly described, and the important biological functions of MBF1 in plants were mainly demonstrated, including the regulation of plant development and stress response. This paper provides a theoretical reference for the further in-depth studies on the molecular regulatory mechanisms of plant MBF1.
