Combinatorial regulation of eukaryotic transcription is mediated by proteins that associate in a specific manner to form multiprotein DNA-bound complexes. Substantial progress has recently been made towards the understanding of the molecular determinants of the protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions that govern assembly of these complexes. Three-dimensional structures have been determined of the MATalpha2/MCM1-DNA complex, the p50/p65 Rel homology domain heterodimer bound to DNA, the NFAT/Fos-Jun/DNA quaternary complex, and of the GABPalpha/beta ETS domain-ankyrin repeat heterodimer bound to DNA.
真核转录的组合调控由以特定方式结合形成多蛋白DNA结合复合物的蛋白质介导。最近在理解控制这些复合物组装的蛋白质-蛋白质和蛋白质-DNA相互作用的分子决定因素方面取得了重大进展。已经确定了MATalpha2/MCM1-DNA复合物、与DNA结合的p50/p65 Rel同源结构域异二聚体、NFAT/Fos-Jun/DNA四聚体复合物以及与DNA结合的GABPalpha/beta ETS结构域-锚蛋白重复异二聚体的三维结构。
