Abstract excerpt
Forkhead box G1 (FOXG1) is a transcription factor mainly expressed in the brain that plays a critical role in the development and regionalization of the forebrain. Aberrant expression of FOXG1 has implications in FOXG1 syndrome, a serious neurodevelopmental disorder. Here, we report the crystal structure of the FOXG1 DNA-binding domain (DBD) in complex with the forkhead consensus DNA site DBE2 at the resolution...
