Abstract excerpt
The testis-determining factor SRY contains an HMG box DNA-bending domain. Human and murine factors (hSRY and mSRY, respectively) exhibit marked sequence divergence and are reported to differ markedly in DNA bending properties. Surprisingly, the combined application of time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (tr-FRET) and permutation gel electrophoresis demonstrates that the hSRY-DNA complex is more...
