Interferon-inducible protein 204 (p204) binds to microbial DNA to elicit inflammatory responses and induce interferon production. p204 also modulates cell proliferation and differentiation by regulating various transcription factors. The C-terminal HIN domains in p204 are believed to be responsible for DNA binding, but the binding mode is not fully understood. The DNA-binding affinity of the p204 HIN1 domain has been characterized and its crystal structure has been determined, providing insight into its interaction with DNA. Surface-charge distribution together with sequence alignment suggests that the p204 HIN domain uses its L12 and L45 loops for DNA binding.
干扰素诱导蛋白204(p204)与微生物DNA结合以引发炎症反应并诱导干扰素产生。p204还通过调节各种转录因子来调控细胞增殖和分化。p204中的C末端HIN结构域被认为负责DNA结合,但其结合模式尚未完全了解。已对p204 HIN1结构域的DNA结合亲和力进行了表征,并确定了其晶体结构,从而深入了解其与DNA的相互作用。表面电荷分布以及序列比对表明,p204 HIN结构域利用其L12和L45环进行DNA结合。
