ZINC FINGER-DNA RECOGNITION: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A ZIF268-DNA COMPLEX AT 2.1 ANGSTROMS
Overview
The zinc finger DNA-binding motif occurs in many proteins that regulate, eukaryotic gene expression. The crystal structure of a complex containing, the three zinc fingers from Zif268 (a mouse immediate early protein) and a, consensus DNA-binding site has been determined at 2.1 angstroms resolution, and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 18.2 percent. In this, complex, the zinc fingers bind in the major groove of B-DNA and wrap part, way around the double helix. Each finger has a similar relation to the DNA, and makes its primary contacts in a three-base pair subsite. Residues from, the amino-terminal portion of an alpha helix contact the bases, and most, of the contracts are made with the guanine-rich strand of the DNA. This, structure provides a framework for understanding how zinc fingers, recognize DNA and suggests that this motif may provide a useful basis for, the design of novel DNA-binding proteins.
