TBX3 acts as a repressor and has had its crystal structure solved to 1.7 Å resolution.  There are many differences between the solved structure of TBX3 and its homologue, [[Brachyury]].  Secondary structures and quaternary contacts are slightly different.  TBX3 independently recognises two halves of a palindromic site whereas Brachyury is stabilised via interactions between the two monomers.  Despite this, the T-box domain of TBX3 and the T-box domain of Brachyury can be superimposed with a rmsd of 1.3 Å for 167 atoms.

TBX3 expressed from residues 101 - 291 were viable proteins and were crystallised in space group P2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>.  These included two monomers and one DNA duplex in the asymmetric unit. The monomers themselves can be superimposed to give an rmsd of 0.5 Å. The largest differences between the TBX3 crystal structure and the T-box domain of Brachyury is between residues 173 and 184, and between strands F and G.  Four residues are inserted between F and G and this adopts a 3<sub>10</sub> conformation.
