[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] We have shown previously that a two-zinc finger unit found in the transcriptional coregulator ZNF217 recognizes DNA but with an affinity and specificity that is lower than other classical ZF arrays. To investigate the basis for these...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] Hydrophobins spontaneously self-assemble into functional amyloid monolayers at hydrophobic:hydrophilic interfaces. These amphipathic monolayers have amazing physicochemical properties and have been suggested for many different...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] In developing neuronal tissue expression of the key specification factor Lhx3 is supplemented by the redundant protein Lhx4. In motor neurons the balance between Lhx3 and Isl1 is critical for proper cell fate determination. In order to...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] Fungi make a hydrophobic coating on their spores by assembling an amphipathic surface monolayer made from small proteins termed hydrophobins. In an effort to try to understand the structural basis for the non-covalent assembly process (in...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] Pathogens must steal iron from their hosts to establish infection. In mammals, hemoglobin (Hb) represents the largest reservoir of iron, and pathogens express Hb-binding proteins to access this source. Here, we show how one of the...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] All GATA1-activated genes are co-occupied by LMO2, LDB1 and a number of other proteins. As part of a project to understand how these proteins come together at such gene promoters, we have determined the solution structure of the C-terminal...
