It is different from the [[TBX3]] and [[Brachyury]] structures in the way that it dimerises, and that it has been bound to a half-site rather than a full palindromic site. The difference in dimerisations calls into question whether these proteins dimerise naturally or, as their <i>in vivo</i> predicted binding sites suggest, bind monomerically to the DNA. These proteins generally do not dimerise in conserved regions. | ||
