TAP Family: C2C2_GATA
Lowry & Atchley (2000): The GATA-binding transcription factors comprise a protein family whose members contain either one or two highly conserved zinc finger DNA-binding domains. Members of this group have been identified in organisms ranging from cellular slime mold to vertebrates, including plants, fungi, nematodes, insects, and echinoderms.
This TAP family belongs to the Other C4 zinc finger-type factors structural class of the Zinc-coordinating DNA-binding domains structural superclass, as defined in Plant-TFClass (Blanc-Mathieu et al. 2024)
