| + | RXRα homodimers preferrentially assemble on DR-1 repeat sequences. DR-1 sequences are composed of an AGGTCA tandem repeat, with a single nucleotide spacer in between the repeats. Only <scene name='RA_Mediated_T-reg_Differentiaition/Rxr-dna_base_interact/1'>four residues,</scene> Lys22, Lys26, Glu19 and Arg27 interact with the DNA bases directly. <scene name='RA_Mediated_T-reg_Differentiaition/Rxr-dna_backbone_interact/1'>Seven residues</scene> interact with the phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule, making sure it is in position for base recognition. | ||
| + | RXRα homodimers have also been shown to assemble on DR-2 tandem repeats, sequences with the same organization as DR-1, but with two nucleotides as a spacer. The DNA interaction is similar with DR-2 repeats, just spaced further apart. | ||
