Solution Structure of the C-terminal WRKY Domain of AtWRKY4
Overview
The WRKY proteins comprise a major family of transcription factors that, are essential in pathogen and salicylic acid responses of higher plants as, well as a variety of plant-specific reactions. They share a DNA binding, domain, designated as the WRKY domain, which contains an invariant WRKYGQK, sequence and a CX4-5CX22-23HXH zinc binding motif. Herein, we report the, NMR solution structure of the C-terminal WRKY domain of the Arabidopsis, thaliana WRKY4 protein. The structure consists of a four-stranded, beta-sheet, with a zinc binding pocket formed by the conserved Cys/His, residues located at one end of the beta-sheet, revealing a novel zinc and, DNA binding structure. The WRKYGQK residues correspond to the most, N-terminal beta-strand, kinked in the middle of the sequence by the Gly, residue, which enables extensive hydrophobic interactions involving the, Trp residue and contributes to the structural stability of the beta-sheet., Based on a profile of NMR chemical shift perturbations, we propose that, the same strand enters the DNA groove and forms contacts with the DNA, bases.
