1aw6 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 125d. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
GAL4_YEAST This protein is a positive regulator for the gene expression of the galactose-induced genes such as GAL1, GAL2, GAL7, GAL10, and MEL1 which code for the enzymes used to convert galactose to glucose. It recognizes a 17 base pair sequence in (5'-CGGRNNRCYNYNCNCCG-3') the upstream activating sequence (UAS-G) of these genes.
