Abstract excerpt
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that binds DNA as a monomer and regulates the transcription of multiple target genes. A mutation in the proximal (P)-box of the first zinc finger of SF-1 (G35E) has been reported to cause complete XY sex reversal and adrenal insufficiency. Because this P-box region dictates DNA binding specificity, we investigated the effect of this mutation on DNA...
