SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE FORKHEAD DOMAIN OF THE ADIPOCYTE-TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR FREAC-11 (S12)
Structural highlights
DiseaseFOXC2_HUMAN Defects in FOXC2 are the cause of lymphedema hereditary type 2 (LMPH2) [MIM:153200; also known as Meige lymphedema. Hereditary lymphedema is a chronic disabling condition which results in swelling of the extremities due to altered lymphatic flow. Patients with lymphedema suffer from recurrent local infections, and physical impairment.[1] Defects in FOXC2 are a cause of lymphedema-yellow nails (LYYN) [MIM:153300. LYYN is characterized by yellow, dystrophic, thick and slowly growing nails, associated with lymphedema and respiratory involvement. Lymphedema occurs more often in the lower limbs. It can appear at birth or later in life. Onset generally follows the onset of ungual abnormalities. Defects in FOXC2 are a cause of lymphedema-distichiasis (LYD) [MIM:153400. LYD is characterized by primary limb lymphedema usually starting at puberty (but in some cases later or at birth) and associated with distichiasis (double rows of eyelashes, with extra eyelashes growing from the Meibomian gland orifices).[2] FunctionFOXC2_HUMAN Transcriptional activator.

Publication Abstract from PubMedTranscription factors of the forkhead type share a highly conserved DNA-binding domain of about 100 amino acid residues. FREAC-11, expressed in adipocytes, belongs to this class. Here, we report on NMR studies that established the three-dimensional structure of the FREAC-11, DNA-binding domain. Although apparent similarities to the structures of other members within the forkhead family are observed, the structure also reveals some remarkable differences. Along with the complementary dynamics, the data provide insight into the fundamentals of sequence specificity within a highly conserved motif.
