MafG - small protein, big recognition sequence

3D Model

MafG is an individual from the Maf protein family, which has an interesting bZip (basic region leucine zipper) structure that permits the dimeric Maf protein to perceive a palindromic arrangement known as the Maf recognition element (MARE). MafG, as other small Maf proteins, can shape homodimers and heterodimers with other bZip factors such cap ‘n’ collar proteins and Bach proteins. Small Maf proteins, as MafG, need traditional transcriptional initiation areas. Be that as it may, as other Maf proteins in its family, MafG has a basic region for DNA restricting and the leucine zipper being liable for dimer development.
