ZINC-AND SEQUENCE-DEPENDENT BINDING TO NUCLEIC ACIDS BY THE N-TERMINAL ZINC FINGER DOMAIN OF THE HIV-1 NUCLEOCAPSID PROTEIN: NMR STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX WITH THE PSI-SITE ANALOG, D/ACGCC
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eu ...
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eukaryotic gene regulation, such as C. elegans GLH-1. Structure is an 18-residue zinc finger.
