DNA RECOGNITION BY GAL4: STRUCTURE OF A PROTEIN/DNA COMPLEX

GAL4 is a transcription factor that induces genes required for the metabolism of galactose, specifically enzymes involved in the conversion of galactose to glucose. This structure is for the DNA binding domain of GAL4, and contains 65 residues from the N terminus. The protein binds as a to a symmetrical 17-base-pair sequence. A small, Zn(2+)-containing domain recognizes a conserved CCG triplet at each end of the site through direct contacts with the major groove. A short coiled-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 relatively open structure of the complex would allow another protein to bind coordinately with GAL4.
