Abstract
|
|
|
The three-dimensional structure of an HNF-3/fork head DNA-recognition motif
complexed with DNA has been determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.5 A
resolution. This alpha/beta protein binds B-DNA as a monomer, through
interactions with the DNA backbone and through both direct and water-mediated
major and minor groove base contacts, inducing a 13 degrees bend. The
transcription factor fold is very similar to the structure of histone H5. In its
amino-terminal half, three alpha-helices adopt a compact structure that presents
the third helix to the major groove. The remainder of the protein includes a
twisted, antiparallel beta-structure and random coil that interacts with the
minor groove.
