The MyoD DNA binding domain contains a recognition code for muscle-specific gene activation
Abstract
A 60 amino acid domain of the myogenic determination gene MyoD is necessary and sufficient for sequence-specific DNA binding in vitro and myogenic conversion of transfected C3H10T1/2 cells. We show that a highly basic region, immediately upstream of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) oligomerization motif, is required for MyoD DNA binding in vitro. Replacing helix1, helix2, or the loop of MyoD with the analogous sequence of the Drosophila T4 achaete-scute protein (required for peripheral neurogenesis) has no substantial effect on DNA binding in vitro or muscle-specific gene activation in transfected C3H10T1/2 cells. However, replacing the basic region of MyoD with the analogous sequence of other HLH proteins (the immunoglobulin enhancer binding E12 protein or T4 achaete scute protein) allows DNA binding in vitro, yet abolishes muscle-specific gene activation. These findings suggest that a recognition code that determines muscle-specific gene activation lies within the MyoD basic region and that the capacity for specific DNA binding is insufficient to activate the muscle program.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
