Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF-4alpha), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, binds DNA exclusively as a homodimer. Dimerization controls important aspects of receptor function, such as DNA binding, protein stability, ligand binding and interaction with coactivators. Crystallographic data of the HNF-4alpha ligand-binding domain (LBD) demonstrated that the homodimer interface is composed of residues in...
