The androgen receptor (AR) mediates transactivation of target genes by acting as a dimer in which its amino-terminal domain (AR-NTD) interacts with its carboxyl-terminal, ligand-binding domain (AR-LBD) (N/C interaction)...

01/2005 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterIn order to demonstrate that an existing zinc-finger protein can be simply modified to enhance DNA binding and sequence discrimination in both episomal and chromatin contexts using existing zinc-finger DNA recognition code data, and without recourse to phage display and selection strategies, we have examined the consequences of a single zinc-finger extension to a synthetic three-zinc-finger VP16 fusion protein, on transcriptional activation from model target promoters harbouring the zinc-finger binding sequences...
