DNA binding domain with Heat-shock Element




The  DBD  (residues  1–120)  together  with  two  double-repeat  DNA motifs-a tail-to-tail HSE (ggTTCt, in which capital letters
denote the HSF1-recognition  motifs)

The conformation of the C-terminal residues of DBD is stabilized by hydrophobic interactions of Phe104, Leu112 and Ile115 with the core of the domain,
and by a backbone hydrogen bond between the amide at residue Lys118 and the carbonyl group of Met75, which is located at the C terminus of helix α3.


This arrangement makes the DBDs and the coiled-coil bundle located on opposite faces of the DNA double helix.
