The DNA-binding domain of the Cys-3 regulatory protein of Neurospora crassa is bipartite

Cys-3, the major sulfur regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa, encodes a regulatory protein that is capable of sequence-specific interaction with DNA. The interaction is mediated by a region within the CYS3 protein (the bzip region) which contains a potential dimer-forming surface, the leucine zipper...

description Cys-3, the major sulfur regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa, encodes a regulatory protein that is capable of sequence-specific interaction with DNA. The interaction is mediated by a region within the CYS3 protein (the bzip region) which contains a potential dimer-forming surface, the leucine zipper, and an adjacent basic DNA contact region, NH2-terminal to the leucine zipper. To investigate the bipartite nature of the bzip region, a series of cys-3 mutants obtained by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis were expressed and tested for dimer formation as well as DNA binding and in vivo function. The results demonstrate that CYS3 protein exists as a dimer in the presence and absence of the target DNA and that dimerization of CYS3 is mediated strictly by the leucine zipper, which is required for both cys-3 function in vivo and DNA-binding activity in vitro. Furthermore, a truncated CYS3 protein corresponding to just the bzip region was found to mediate dimer formation and to possess DNA-binding activity. A CYS3 mutant protein with a pure methionine zipper showed significant, although reduced, function in vivo and in vitro
