Table 1. Comparison between plant SOG1 and animal p53.

Animal p53 Arabidopsis SOG1
Functions
Transcription factor Transcription factor (NAC protein)
Activates transcriptional response Activates transcriptional response
Involved in cell-cycle arrest Involved in cell-cycle arrest
Stimulates apoptosis Stimulates programmed cell death
Required for genome stability Required for genome stability
Mechanisms of regulation (in response to DNA damage)
Phosphorylated by ATM, ATR and CHK1/2 Phosphorylated via ATM
p53 is stabilized The amount of SOG1 does not change
