MicroProteins (miPs)
Most biological processes require the formation of protein
complexes that are established through protein-protein
interaction (PPI) domains.
The formation, stability, and disruption of protein complexes are
dependent on various cellular factors, such as regulatory
proteins and post-translational modifications.
One important means by which complex formation is regulated
is by microProteins (miPs) mediated inhibition of complex
formation.
MicroProteins (miPs)
MiPs are short, usually single-domain proteins interact
(heterodimerize) with target and exert a dominant-negative
effect.
Although some miPs are not small but they are named so
-because the results of their actions are analogous to microRNAs
(miRNAs), which are negative regulators of mRNAs.
MiPs thus behave as post-translational regulators by forming
homotypic dimers with their targets, and act through the
dominantnegative suppression of protein complex function
Id protein
Id is missing the basic region adjacent to the HLH domain that is essential for
specific DNA binding in another HLH protein, MyoD.
In vitro studies shown that Id can bind with atleast three HLH TFs (MyoD,
E12 and E47)
This interaction attenuate the ability to bind DNA as homodimeric or
heterodimeric complexes Ex: Id prevents MyoD from binding to DNA.
Researchers assumed that Id acts in a negative manner to fine-tune muscle
development.
Later studies showed that Id has a higher affinity for the more ubiquitously
expressed E-type bHLH transcriptional regulators.
Suggesting that Id probably regulates the abundance of MyoD/E-type
heterodimers and thus allows the MyoD homodimers to exert their action in a
tissue-specific manner.

The differences in tissue/organ expression patterns of R3 MYBs
determine the first level of specificities.
Among all seven R3 MYB genes, ETC2 and TCL1, TCL2/CPL4 was also not
detected or at very low level in the root . All of these three genes tested were
able to partially rescue the root hair phenotype of cpc mutant when their
expression was driven by CPC promoter.

The putative list of 483 potential miPs that were published ranged in
size from 3 to 125 kDa.
Approximately 70% of which were above 20kDa size.
This list contains some known miPs and probably some undiscovered
miPs.
Most of the proteins in list are better classified as modulatory proteins
due to their size

Cis miPs
MADS box box TF genes FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM) and
SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) have key roles.
FLM is subjected to temperature dependent alternative splicing
(FLM- and FLM-).
FLM- (at low temperature) and FLM- (at higher temperaturedominant negative activator) compete for interaction with the floral
repressor SVP.
Low ambient temperature favours the formation of SVPSVP and
SVPFLM- complexes that actively repress flowering.
These results show a new mechanism that controls the timing of the
floral transition in response to changes in ambient temperature.

CONCLUSION
Microproteins (miPs) are small proteins that disrupt functional complexes.
MiPs have a dominant-negative mode of action.
All known bona fide Arabidopsis miPs are less than 20kDa.
Transcription factor-like proteins lacking dominant-negative effects are
not mips.
Microproteins (miPs) are short, usually single-domain proteins that, in
analogy to miRNAs, heterodimerize with their targets and exert a
dominant-negative effect.
Modulatory proteins misrepresented as miPs do not qualify as true miPs
