Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors represent a family of proteins that contain a bHLH domain, a motif involved in binding DNA. Recently, two groups independently analyzed the BHLH gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana (Heim et al., 2003; Toledo-Ortiz et al., 2003). These analyses revealed that this family is one of the largest transcription factor gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana. Although both analyses intended to give complete overviews of AtBHLH genes, some discrepancies were detected when the data sets were compared. After careful re-examination, we have resolved these discrepancies. In Table 1 Summary of the AtBHLH Genes Detected The prefix At indicates Arabidopsis thaliana (see text). BHLH “entry numbers” (Toledo-Ortiz et al., 2003). GenBank accession number of the cDNA sequence representing the open reading frame used to evaluate the presence or absence of a proper bHLH domain signature. References for the synonyms that are used in the literature. The synonym was found only in a GenBank entry but not in an article.
