Abstract excerpt
Zinc finger transcription factor Zfp57 recognizes the methylated CpG within the TGCCGC element. We determined the structure of the DNA-binding domain of Zfp57, consisting of two adjacent zinc fingers, in complex with fully methylated DNA at 1.0 Å resolution. The first zinc finger contacts the 5' half (TGC), and the second recognizes the 3' half (CGC) of the recognition sequence. Zfp57 recognizes the two...
