AtbZIP16 and AthZIP68 are two putative G group bZIP transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana, the other three members of G group bZIPs are GBF1-3 which can bind G-box. Members of G group have conservative protein structure: highly homological basic region and a proline-rich domain in the N-terminal region. Here, we report that AtbZIP16 and AthZIP68 could bind cis elements with ACGT core, such as G-box, Hex, C-box and As-1, but with different binding affinities which from high to low were G-box > Hex > C-box > As-1; AtbZIP16 and AtbZIP68 could form homodimer and form heterodimer with other members of G group; N-terminal proline rich domain of AthZIP16 had transactivation activity in yeast cells while that of AtbZIP68 did not AtbZIP16 and AthZIP68 GFP fusion protein localized in the nucleus of onion epidermal cells. These results indicated that AthZIP16 and AthZIP68 were two new members of GBFs. In Arabidopsis, AthZIP16 and AthZIP68 may also participate in light-responsive process in which GBF1-3 are involved.
