POU domain proteins contain a bipartite DNA-binding element that can confer allosteric control of coactivator recruitment. Dimerization of Oct-1 and Oct-2 on palindromic response elements results in the conformational dependent inclusion or exclusion of the transcriptional coactivator OBF-1. In this paper, we demonstrate that Oct-1 and Oct-2 can function as transcriptional repressors by recruiting and physically interacting with members of the Grg/TLE family of corepressors. In accordance with a model of DNA induced cofactor assembly, and analogous to the recruitment of the OBF-1 coactivator, the different Grg/TLE members can discriminate between both Oct-1 and Oct-2, and the monomeric or dimeric nature of the POU/DNA complex.
POU结构域蛋白包含一个双组分DNA结合元件,该元件可对共激活因子的募集进行变构控制。Oct-1和Oct-2在回文反应元件上的二聚化导致转录共激活因子OBF-1根据构象依赖性被包含或排除。在本文中,我们证明Oct-1和Oct-2可通过与共抑制因子Grg/TLE家族成员募集并发生物理相互作用而发挥转录抑制因子的作用。根据DNA诱导的辅因子组装模型,并且类似于OBF-1共激活因子的募集,不同的Grg/TLE成员可以区分Oct-1和Oct-2以及POU/DNA复合物的单体或二聚体性质。
