DNA Binding Domain of LEAFY: A Master Regulator in Flower Development
Introduction
FLORICAULA/LEAFY (FLO/LFY) genes encode a plant specific transcription factor family that controlling floral meristem/organ identity. In the plant model system Arabidopsis thaliana , LFY acts upstream of
Structural Basis of LEAFY binding

General information about the structure
DNA recognition is conducted by a HTH-like motif
DNA binding required cooperative dimerization
