GAL4 is a modular protein with a DNA-binding domain and an activation domain. Although GAL4 is a yeast protein, it can work as a transcription activator in a variety of organisms such as Drosophila and human cells, highlighting that the same mechanisms for gene expression have been conserved over the course of evolution.

GAL4 is a specific DNA complex of the 65-residue, N-terminal fragment of the yeast transcriptional activator. This protein binds as a dimer to a symmetrical 17 base-pair sequence. A small domain within this protein containing zinc recognizes a conserved CCG triplet at each end of the site through direct contact with the major groove. A short coil dimerization element imposes 2-fold symmetry. A segment of extended polypeptide chain links the metal-binding module to the dimerization element and specifies the length of the site. The complex's open structure allows for another protein to bind coordinately with GAL4.

genetics is ok

'Molecules it Interacts With and where '

The protein binds to GDP as well as the following ligands in order to promote the attachment of the protein complex to the ribosome A site.

PHOSHOAMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-GUANYLATE ESTER


PHENYLALANINE MAGNESIUM ION


'Origin'

It has domains that are created in yeast (phenyl-transfer RNA) , in the heat resistant Thermus aquaticus (EF-Tu elongation factor, and can be synthetically manufactured.


'Structure'

It has 3 domains. G proteins, Elongation Factors, and the EF-Tu/eEF-1alpha/eIF2-gamma C-terminal domain. It is composed of 6 chains, which combine in alignment.


Specific are highlighted here. The ligands listed above, GDP, Phe, and Mg+2 ion each attach at these locations which are still being explored.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation. They form positive pockets with which negative amino acids can bind to.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation.

'Function"

The protein complex participates in placing the amino acids in their correct order when messenger RNA is translated into a protein sequence on the ribosome by promoting GTP-dependent binding of tRNA to the A site of the ribosome. In other words, it is involved with elongation during polypeptide synthesis.
