Abstract:
The RFX DNA binding domain (DBD) is a novel highly conserved motif belonging to a large number of dimer DNA binding proteins which have diverse regulatory functions in eukaryotic organisms. To characterize this novel motif, a 78mer polypeptide corresponding to the DBD of human hRFX (hrfX1/DBD), a prototypical member of the RFX family has been cloned and overproduced in Escherichia coli. A purification procedure using cation exchange chromatography has also been developed.
