Abstract excerpt
The zinc finger domain in the large subunit of TFIIE (TFIIEalpha) is phylogenetically conserved and is essential for transcription. Here, we determined the solution structure of this domain by using NMR. It consisted of one alpha-helix and five beta-strands, showing novel features distinct from previously determined zinc-binding structures. We created point mutants of TFIIEalpha in this domain and examined their...
