Tubby-like proteins (TLPs) transcription factors are found in single-celled to multi-cellular eukaryotes in the form of large multigene families. TLPs are identified through a specific signature of carboxyl terminal tubby domain, required for plasma membrane tethering and amino terminal F-box domain communicate as functional SCF-type E3 ligases. The comprehensive distribution of TLP gene family members in diverse species indicates some conserved functions of TLPs in multicellular organisms. Plant TLPs have higher gene members than animals and these members reported important role in multiple physiological and developmental processes and various environmental stress responses. Although the TLPs are suggested to be a putative transcription factors but their functional mechanism is not much clear. This review provides significant recent updates on TLP-mediated regulation with an insight into its functional roles, origin and evolution and also phytohormones related regulation to combat with various stresses and its involvement in adaptive stress response in crop plants.

Mutations in lead to Joubert syndrome, a ciliopathy with neurological and retinal abnormalities. In photoreceptors, ARL13B localizes to the connecting cilia and outer segments. However, the specific function and the need for ARL13B in photoreceptor cilia remain unclear.

Tubby-like proteins (TLPs) are essential multifunctional transcription factors in plants that significantly influence plant growth and development, signal transduction, and adaptation to environmental stress. Despite their importance, there is limited knowledge of the identification and functional roles of the gene family in the common bean. In this study, we identified the gene family, which consists of 10 genes distributed unevenly across seven chromosomes.

Background: Drought and salt stresses as common abiotic stresses have a significant impact on the yield and quality of Malus domestica (apple). The tubby-like proteins (TLPs), as a family of transcription factors, play an important role in plant response to abiotic stresses, but the regulatory mechanisms involved remain unclear.
Results: Here, we investigated how apple TLP7 (MdTLP7) and its interacting genes regulate apple response to drought and salt stresses.

Whole-exome sequencing may help unearth uncommon monogenic causes of cryptogenic cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Tubby-like protein 3 ( gene encodes the tubby domain family of proteins, mutations of which is associated with progressive degenerative disease of major organs such as kidney, heart, and liver. Here we report a case of a young male with decompensated cirrhosis who was ultimately identified with homozygous pathogenic splice donor variant c.
