For details see Pho4 bHLH Protein. . Its structure is a basic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)[2] The pho4 protein takes part in transcription of several yeast genes related to phosphate metabolism: PH05 encoding repressible acid phosphatase, the expression of Pho5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is derepressed by a specific level of inorganic phosphate (Pi), and depressed when the Pi concentrate in the medium is lowered, the regulatory system of the Pi signals coded by PHO4 PHO2 , PHO80, and PHO81 genes.[3] PH08 encoding alkaline phosphatase[4] PH081 a regulatory gene regulated by PHO system wuth the use of Pi[5] PH084 phosphate permease gene[6] other than that, the Pho4 protein seems to contain a coding region for non translated mitochondrial proteins[7]

sturcture

The structure of the Pho4 protein is a basic Helix-loop-helix(bHLH), The linker sequence between Helix1(H1) and Helix2(H2) contains several residues: Asn, Glu, Pro and Ser^[8]. The DNA binding site is a homodimer and two monomers in a left‐handed four‐helix bundle fold (identical to bHLH/Zip and bHLH proteins fold).

• loop structure

Pho4 loops (conserved structure?) are long but compact and forms a short alpha-helical structure ^[9]. The PHO4 loop contains a Trp residue that faces the aromatic rings of Tyr52 and His55 of helix H2, and Pro28 of H2 and H1. thw Pho4 is lack of inner hydrogen network and the loop create one contact with phosphate group by Ser41^[10]an aromatic cluster forms a cap structure is observed

• DNA binding

As The Pho4 binding region binds specifically to CACGTG sequence by a specific subset of the basic region of the bHLH motif^[11]
