Abstract:Activator protein-1 (AP-1) comprises one of the largest and most evolutionary conserved families of ubiquitous eukaryotic transcription factors that act as a pioneer factor. Diversity in DNA binding interaction of AP-1 through a conserved basic-zipper (bZIP) domain directs in-depth understanding of how AP-1 achieves its DNA binding selectivity and consequently gene regulation specificity. Here, we address the structural and dynamical aspects of the DNA target recognition process of AP-1 using microsecond-long … Show more
