Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain-containing transcription factor Pitx2 (pituitary homeobox protein 2) is present in many developing embryonic tissues, including the heart. Its homeodomain is responsible for the recognition and binding to target DNA sequences and thus constitutes a major functional unit in the Pitx2 protein. Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were employed to determine the solution structure of the native Pitx2...
