[[2zta]] is composed of two identical 52 residue alpha helix chains that grouped together to form a dimer. The dimer binds through interlocking leucine amino acids in the C terminal ends, while pinching in on the major groove of DNA in the N terminal end. | |||
GCN4 (PDB [[2zta]] by itself, [[1ysa]] bound to DNA) is a eukaryotic transcription factor first isolated from yeast. It is composed of two identical 52 residue alpha helix chains that grouped together to form a dimer. The dimer binds through interlocking leucine amino acids in the C terminal ends, while pinching in on the major groove of DNA in the N terminal end. | |||
