TAP Family: GRAS
Li et al (2016): GRAS proteins belong to a plant-specific protein family with many members and play essential roles in plant growth and development, functioning primarily in transcriptional regulation. The structure is a dimer, with a clear groove to accommodate double-stranded DNA.
This TAP family belongs to the GRAS structural class of the Yet undefined DNA-binding domains structural superclass, as defined in Plant-TFClass (Blanc-Mathieu et al. 2024)
