Specific DNA-binding and in vitro transcription activities of H4TF-1 and H4TF-2 are inactivated by chelating agents. Binding activity is restored by addition of Zn2+, and H4TF-2 is also reactivated by Fe2+. In contrast, preformed factor-DNA complexes are resistant to chelators. Therefore, metal ions are a required component of the H4TF-1 and H4TF-2 DNA-binding domains.
H4TF-1和H4TF-2的特异性DNA结合及体外转录活性可被螯合剂灭活。通过添加Zn2+可恢复结合活性,并且Fe2+也可使H4TF-2重新激活。相比之下,预先形成的因子-DNA复合物对螯合剂具有抗性。因此,金属离子是H4TF-1和H4TF-2 DNA结合结构域的必需组成成分。
