同源框基因构成了一组重要的基因，负责调节发育过程。这些基因决定了所有真核生物的细胞分化和细胞命运，从胚胎发育的早期开始。同源域亮氨酸拉链(HD-Zip)转录因子是植物界独有的。HD-Zip IV亚家族的成员具有复杂的结构域拓扑结构，可以与几个具有重叠序列的顺式元件结合。许多已报道的HD-Zip IV基因被证明是在植物表皮或亚表皮细胞中特异或优先表达的。HD-Zip IV转录因子被发现与外层细胞的分化和维持，以及调节脂质的生物合成和运输有关。关于这些蛋白质在植物角质层形成中的作用，以及它们可能参与植物免受病原体和非生物胁迫的保护的见解才刚刚开始出现。这些作用使HD-Zip IV蛋白成为农作物基因工程的一个有吸引力的工具。为此，有必要进行深入研究，以进一步阐明HD-Zip IV亚家族成员在商业上重要的植物物种中的功能。
Homeobox genes comprise an important group of genes that are responsible for regulation of developmental processes. These genes determine cell differentiation and cell fate in all eukaryotic organisms, starting from the early stages of embryo development. Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factors are unique to the plant kingdom. Members of the HD-Zip IV subfamily have a complex domain topology and can bind several cis-elements with overlapping sequences. Many of the reported HD-Zip IV genes were shown to be specifically or preferentially expressed in plant epidermal or sub-epidermal cells. HD-Zip IV TFs were found to be associated with differentiation and maintenance of outer cell layers, and regulation of lipid biosynthesis and transport. Insights about the role of these proteins in plant cuticle formation, and hence their possible involvement in plant protection from pathogens and abiotic stresses has just started to emerge. These roles make HD-Zip IV proteins an attractive tool for genetic engineering of crop plants. To this end, there is a need for in-depth studies to further clarify the function of each HD-Zip IV subfamily member in commercially important plant species.
