TAP Family: ZPR
ZPR proteins are a group of transcriptional regulators that were derived by a duplication event of a C3HDZ protein in the common ancestor of ferns and seed plants and subsequent degenerative mutations. They are involved in the regulation of C3HDZ and in the regulation of plant form and growth (Floyd et al., 2014). Furthermore, ZPR regulators display the important role of gene duplications in the complexity of land plant developmental complexity (Floyd et al., 2014).
