The Oct-1 homoeodomain directs formation of a multiprotein-DNA complex with the HSV transactivator VP16

Nature volume 341, pages 624–630 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

The herpes simplex virus transactivator VP16 par-ticipates in the formation of a multiprotein-DNA complex with the ubiquitous octamer-motif-binding factor Oct-1. Complex formation is dependent on specific amino acids in the Oct-1 homoeodomain which are in positions analogous to positive control mutations in helix 2 of the λ phage repressor helix-turn-helix motif, indicating that this structure is an ancient target for protein-protein interactions mediating transcriptional control.
