Abstract excerpt
The POU family of proteins, including the Oct-2 transcription factor, is characterized by a highly conserved bipartite DNA binding domain containing a 'POU homeodomain', distantly related to homeodomains of other DNA binding proteins, and a 'POU specific' domain unique to this class of factors. Prompted by the finding that in vitro DNA binding by Oct-2 is reversibly inhibited by oxidation of the protein, we...
