[ PDB file ] This structure shows a two-residue insertion mutant of BKLF F3 that possesses native function but not native structure. This zinc finger retains the ability to bind to GATA-1, even though it contains two additional bulky residues in a structurally...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] FOG-1 is vital for the development of red blood cells and platelets. Originally identified as a Friend of GATA, GATA-independent functions are now emerging. Recently, we identified TACC3 as a protein partner of FOG-1. FOG-1 uses its third...

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] The transcriptional regulator LMO4 consists entirely of two LIM domains, and must bind to the partner protein ldb1 in order to be transported into the nucleus and carry out its role in the regulation of lymphogenesis. We have determined...
