Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the sequence features that contribute to the differential DNA binding properties of two divergent homeodomains, Msx-1 and HoxA3. We show that these homeodomains have overlapping, but nonidentical, DNA binding site preferences. We defined the amino acid residues that contribute to the observed differences in DNA binding specificity by producing a series of mutated polypeptides in which...
