Basic Leucine zipper domain (bZIP domain) The bZIP domain is found in many DNA binding eukaryotic proteins. One part of the domain contains a region that mediates sequence specific DNA binding properties and the Leucine zipper that is required for the dimerization of two DNA binding regions. The DNA binding region comprises a number of basic aminoacids such as arginine and lysine
bZIP domain containing proteins
- AP-1 fos/jun heterodimer that forms an transcription factor
- Jun-B transcription factor
- CREB cAMP response element transcription factor
