Dual-function transcription factor with both repression and activation activities. Binds to 5'-CCATATT-3' motif in target gene promoters (e.g. ABR1). Binds also to G-rich DNA motif 5'-GGGGGCAGTGG-3'. Regulates the expression of genes involved in diverse cellular pathways, including glucose metabolism, photosynthesis, phototropism and stress response (e.g. salt, drought and osmotic stress). Regulates plant immunity, especially during necrotrophic fungal infection (e.g. B.cinerea). Binds to ABR1 promoter and promotes its expression, thus negatively regulating the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway. Represses ABA- and salt-responsive genes expression
