Abstract excerpt
Transcription factors specifically bind to their consensus sequence motifs and regulate transcription efficiency. Transcription factors are also able to non-specifically contact the phosphate backbone of DNA through electrostatic interaction. The homeodomain of Meis1 TALE human transcription factor (Meis1-HD) recognizes its target DNA sequences via two DNA contact regions, the L1-α1 region and the α3 helix...
