Title A folding transition and novel zinc finger accessory domain in the transcription factor adr1.
Authors P.M.Bowers, L.E.Schaufler, R.E.Klevit.

Abstract
The region responsible for sequence-specific DNA binding by the transcription factor ADR1 contains two Cys2-His2 zinc fingers and an additional N-terminal proximal accessory region (PAR). The N-terminal (non-finger) PAR is unstructured in the absence of DNA and undergoes a folding transition on binding the DNA transcription target site. We have used a set of HN-HN NOEs derived from a perdeuterated protein-DNA complex to describe the fold of ADR1 bound to the UAS1 binding site. The PAR forms a compact domain consisting of three antiparallel strands that contact A-T base pairs in the major groove. The three-strand domain is a novel fold among all known DNA-binding proteins. The PAR shares sequence homology with the N-terminal regions of other zinc finger proteins, suggesting that it represents a new DNA-binding module that extends the binding repertoire of zinc finger proteins.

An NMR spectrum and diagram of the observed and inferred intermolecular contacts. a, A strip-plot highlighting intermolecular NOE contacts between the N-terminal region of ADR1-DBD and the UAS1 binding site taken from the perdeuterated ADR1-DBD−UAS1 3D ^15N-edited NOESY spectrum. The NOE contacts demonstrate that the N-terminal residues are in close proximity to base pairs A[3] and T[4], but do not shed light on the specific contacts made by side chains. Selection assays show a preference for a T base at position 4, indicating that specific side-chain contacts as yet undetermined are made to this base. b, Protein−DNA contacts elucidated from change-of-specificity experiments (- - - - -) and observed NOE contacts (——) in each AGAGG nucleotide-binding site. Conserved residues in the -helices of each finger are believed to contact the GAGG nucleotides. The close spatial proximity of the N-terminal residues to base pairs A[3] and T[4], as determined from NOE contacts, does not provide information about base-specific contacts with side chains.

Figure 7. A model of ADR1-DBD bound to the UAS1, showing both zinc fingers and the N-terminal region. The position of the zinc fingers on the GAGG binding site is modeled from the Zif268−DNA complex and specific base contacts determined from change-of-specificity experiments^1, ^3. The structure of the N-terminal region is the average structure taken from the global fold of ADR1-DBD and positioned with relation to the binding site on the basis of NOE contacts observed in the 3D ^15N-edited NOESY spectra.
