  2. Homeobox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeobox

    Homeobox genes encode homeodomain protein products that are transcription factors sharing a characteristic protein fold structure that binds DNA to regulate expression of target genes. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ] Homeodomain proteins regulate gene expression and cell differentiation during early embryonic development, thus mutations in homeobox genes can ...

  3. Hox gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_gene

    The homeodomain is a 60-amino-acid-long DNA-binding domain (encoded by its corresponding 180-base-pair DNA sequence, the homeobox). This amino acid sequence folds into a "helix-turn-helix" (i.e. homeodomain fold) motif that is stabilized by a third helix.

  4. Retinal homeobox protein Rx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_homeobox_protein_Rx

    Rax (Retina and Anterior Neural Fold Homeobox) is a gene in the OAR (Otx, Arx,& Rax) subgroup of the paired-like homeodomain family of transcription factors. Discovered in 1997, [8] the Rax gene is known to contribute to the development of the retina, hypothalamus, pineal gland and pituitary gland. [9]

  5. Helix-turn-helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix-turn-helix

    The di-helical helix-turn-helix motif is the simplest helix-turn-helix motif. A fragment of Engrailed homeodomain encompassing only the two helices and the turn was found to be an ultrafast independently folding protein domain. [9]

  6. NOBOX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOBOX

    NOBOX belongs to the family of proteins that contains homeodomain. Homeodomain is a stretch of 32 specific amino acids in primates downstream the NOBOX Arg303 residue and is very well-conserved among the species. [11] It contains an asparagine residue at position 51 which is important for its interactions with DNA base pairs. [12] [13] [14]

  8. HOPX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOPX

    The protein encoded by this gene is a homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. It was reported that choriocarcinoma cell lines and tissues failed to express this gene, which suggested the possible involvement of this gene in malignant conversion of placental trophoblasts.
