==Overview==
==Overview==
The crystal structure of a DNA-binding domain of PHO4 complexed with DNA, at 2.8 A resolution revealed that the domain folds into a, basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) motif with a long but compact loop that, contains a short alpha-helical segment. This helical structure positions a, tryptophan residue into an aromatic cluster so as to make the loop, compact. PHO4 binds to DNA as a homodimer with direct reading of both the, core E-box sequence CACGTG and its 3'-flanking bases. The 3'-flanking, bases GG are recognized by Arg2 and His5. The residues involved in the, E-box recognition are His5, Glu9 and Arg13, as already reported for, bHLH/Zip proteins MAX and USF, and are different from those recognized by, bHLH proteins MyoD and E47, although PHO4 is a bHLH protein.
