2、N3)。PHD-finger结构域是真核生物中一种进化保守的锌指结构域，通常参与蛋白质之间的相互作用，特别是对核小体组蛋白进行甲基化、乙酰化、磷酸化等修饰。在春化处理过程中，VIN3及其同源基因编码的蛋白都具有PHD-finger结构域，该结构域通过对开花抑制基因FLOWERINGLOCUSC染色质组蛋白进行H3K9、H3K27甲基化、H3K9和H3K14去乙酰化等修饰，调节FLC染色质结构状态，使其从松弛状态转变为高度凝缩状态而关闭其功能，从而影响FLC转录活性进而促进开花。以下综述了拟南芥等十字花科植物春化作用途径中PHD-finger蛋白的功能，并且概述了春化作用机制。关键词:植物同
