Solution Structure of Winged Helix Protein HFH-1

Overview

The hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 (HNF-3)/fork head (fkh) family contains a, large number of transcription factors that recognize divergent DNA, sequences via a winged helix binding motif. HNF-3/fkh proteins show a, broad profile of DNA sequence-specificity in which one DNA sequence can be, recognized by more than one HNF-3/fkh protein and each individual, HNF-3/fkh protein has several DNA binding sequences. In this study, heteronuclear NMR methods were used to study the structures of the DNA, binding domain of a conserved winged helix protein HFH-1 and its DNA, complexes. The structural comparison of winged helix proteins HFH-1 and, Genesis and their DNA complexes indicates that even two highly conserved, HNF-3 family members can adopt different local structures when they, contact an identical DNA binding sequence, while one of these two HNF-3, proteins seems to adopt only slightly different structures on different, DNA binding sites.
