RFX DNA-binding domain

Definition

RFX is a regulatory factor which binds to the X box of MHC class II genes and is essential for their expression. The DNA-binding domain of RFX is the central domain of the protein and binds ssDNA as either a monomer or homodimer PMID:2253877. It recognize X-boxes (DNA of the sequence 5'-GTNRCC(0-3N)RGYAAC-3', where N is any nucleotide, R is a purine and Y is a pyrimidine) using a highly conserved 76-residue DNA-binding domain (DBD) PMID:10706293.
