DNA Recognition by Gal4p
Gal4p is a transcriptional activator in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that regulates the expression of genes to coordinate the response to the carbon source galactose. The structure of The protein binds as a dimer to a symmetrical 17-base-pair sequence. Specifically, the consensus Gal4-binding site is a 17-mer of sequence 5′-CGG-N11-CCG-3′.
