Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

sturcture

The structure of the Pho4 protein is a basic Helix-loop-helix(bHLH) , The linker sequence between Helix1(H1) and Helix2(H2) contains several residues: Asn, Glu, Pro and Ser[1]. The DNA binding site is a homodimer and two monomers in a left‐handed four‐helix bundle fold (identical to bHLH/Zip and bHLH proteins fold) .

  • loop structure

Pho4 loops (conserved structure?) are long but compact and forms a short alpha-helical structure [2]. The PHO4 loop contains a Trp residue that faces the aromatic rings of Tyr52 and His55 of helix H2, and Pro28 of H2 and H1.an aromatic cluster forms a cap structure is observed.[3]

  • DNA binding

As The Pho4 binding region binds specifically to CACGTG sequence by a specific subset of the basic region of the bHLH motif[4]
