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

Stern, S., Tanaka, M., Herr, W. (October 1989) The Oct-1 homoeodomain directs formation of a multiprotein-DNA complex with the HSV transactivator VP16. Nature, 341 (6243). pp. 624-30. ISSN 1476-4687

Abstract

The herpes simplex virus transactivator VP16 participates 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 lambda phage repressor helix-turn-helix motif, indicating that this structure is an ancient target for protein-protein interactions mediating transcriptional control.
