T DOMAIN FROM XENOPUS LAEVIS BOUND TO DNA

Structural highlights

1xbr is a 4 chain structure with sequence from [1] and African clawed frog. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
Gene:	XBRA (African clawed frog)
Resources:	FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum

Function

[BRAC_XENLA] Involved in the transcriptional regulation of genes required for mesoderm formation and differentiation. Causes dorsal mesodermal differentiation of animal cap ectoderm when co-expressed with wnt8 and noggin. None of these molecules causes dorsal mesoderm formation when expressed alone. Establishes the left/right axis at early gastrula stage by directly up-regulating mesodermal expression of zic3.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The mouse Brachyury (T) gene is the prototype of a growing family of so-called T-box genes which encode transcriptional regulators and have been identified in a variety of invertebrates and vertebrates, including humans. Mutations in Brachyury and other T-box genes result in drastic embryonic phenotypes, indicating that T-box gene products are essential in tissue specification, morphogenesis and organogenesis. The T-box encodes a DNA-binding domain of about 180 amino-acid residues, the T domain. Here we report the X-ray structure of the T domain from Xenopus laevis in complex with a 24-nucleotide palindromic DNA duplex. We show that the protein is bound as a dimer, interacting with the major and the minor grooves of the DNA. A new type of specific DNA contact is seen, in which a carboxy-terminal helix is deeply embedded into an enlarged minor groove without bending the DNA. Hydrophobic interactions and an unusual main-chain carbonyl contact to a guanine account for sequence-specific recognition in the minor groove by this helix. Thus the structure of this T domain complex with DNA reveals a new way in which a protein can recognize DNA.
