THE SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF A LEUCINE-ZIPPER MOTIF PEPTIDE
Overview
We report the complete structure determination of a 34 residue synthetic, peptide with the amino acid sequence of the dimerization domain (leucine, zipper) of GCN4. A high resolution structure in solution was obtained by, 1H-NMR studies and distance geometry calculations followed by restrained, energy minimization. A set of 20 final structures was obtained with an, average root mean square deviation of 1.3 A for the backbone atoms, (excluding the first and the last two residues). The structure contains an, uninterrupted helix. A comparison with a structure previously determined, for a larger peptide containing both the DNA-binding region (basic region), and the leucine-zipper motif shows the structural independence of the, leucine-zipper domain from the contiguous DNA binding region.
