Determinants of the DNA-Binding Specificity of the Avian Homeodomain Protein, AKR
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
AKR (Avian Knotted-Related) was the first example of a vertebrate homeodomain protein with a highly divergent Ile residue at position 50 of the DNA-recognition helix. The protein was cloned from a liver cDNA expression library of a day-9 chick embryo by virtue of its ability to bind to the F' site in the proximal promoter of the avian apoVLDLII gene. Expression of the apoVLDLII gene is completely estrogen...
