The structure of a complex containing the homeodomain repressor protein MATalpha2 and the MADS-box transcription factor MCM1 bound to DNA has been determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.25 A resolution.


Through the structure of this oligomer that was obtained by crystallography, we can see that HDAC9 is kept even after MEF2 binding to the chromosome. We can also easily observe a very well near the DNA binding site of MEF2.

of the immunity protein 9 (Im9, 1bxi, colored yellow), evolved variant R12-2 (lime), and immunity protein 7 (Im7, colored blue, 7cei) reveals their structural identity. However, when the immunity proteins-bound , they demonstrate somewhat different picture.
