We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| + | == Function == | ||
| - | + | '''Gcn4''' or '''General control protein Gcn4''' is a yeast transcriptional activator. It belongs to a large family of eukaryotic transcription factors including Fos, Jun and CREB. <ref>PMID:7934812</ref> Gcn4-pLI is a 33-residue peptide of the dimerization domain of Gcn4. See also [[Intrinsically Disordered Protein]]. | |

| + | == Structural highlights == | ||
| + | Gcn4 and other family members have a DNA recognition motif consisting of a coiled-coil dimerization element, the leucine-zipper, and an adjoining basic region, which mediates DNA binding. This basic region is largely unstructured in the absence of DNA, addition of DNA containing a Gcn4 binding site induces the transition of this region from unstructured to α-helical. | ||
