The structure of GABPα/β: an ETS domain- ankyrin repeat heterodimer bound to DNA. of outstanding interest Science. 279:1998;1037-1041 GABP is a transcriptional activator from the mouse composed of two subunits: GABPα, which contains an ETS DNA-binding domain, and GABPβ, which contains a set of 4 1 2 ankyrin repeats. The structure of a GABPα/β heterodimer bound to DNA, determined at a resolution of 2.15 Å, shows that the ankyrin repeats all contact GABPα using the tips of the long loop found in each repeat. The ankyrin repeats contact both the ETS domain of GABPα and a carboxy-terminal extension required for heterodimerization. All DNA contacts are mediated by GABPα.

Crystal structure of p50/p65 heterodimer of transcription factor NF-κB bound to DNA. of outstanding interest Nature. 391:1998;410-413 Previous studies of Rel homology region proteins had been of the p50 and p65 homodimers. The structure of the p50/P65 heterodimer, the formation of which is preferred over that of the homodimers, reveals the set of dimer interactions responsible for the heterodimer's enhanced stability.

Structure of the DNA-binding domains from NFAT, Fos and Jun bound specifically to DNA. of outstanding interest Nature. 392:1998;42-48 The structure of the NFAT rel homology region protein bound to the Fos-Jun bZIP heterodimer and DNA is the most complex structure to date of a multicomponent protein-DNA complex involved in transcriptional regulation. As compared with the structure of the Fos-Jun heterodimer alone bound to DNA [2], the coiled-coil region of Fos-Jun bends towards NFAT. The DNA bends as well, thereby bringing the proteins close enough to form extensive contacts.
7. Tan S, Richmond TJ. Crystal structure of the yeast MATα2/MCM1/DNA ternary complex. of outstanding interest Nature. 391:1998;660-666 The structure of the Matα2/MCM1/DNA complex reveals how the α2 homeodomain protein recruits its MADS box partner, MCM1. A flexible peptide located amino-terminal to the homeodomain becomes ordered and contributes an additional β-strand to a β-sheet in each monomer of the MCM1 dimer. Between this β-strand and the homeodomain is a short sequence that adopts two different conformations in the two α2 monomers in the crystal, forming a second β-strand in one monomer and an α-helix in the other. The structural mutability of this sequence has implications for how the α2/MCM1 heterotetramer binds to operator sites with different spacings between the α2 and MCM1 subsites.
