The Acidic Transcription Activator Gcn4 Binds the Mediator Subunit Gal11/Med15 Using a Simple Protein Interface Forming a Fuzzy Complex

The structural basis for binding of the acidic transcription activator Gcn4 and one activator-binding domain of the Mediator subunit Gal11/Med15 was examined by NMR. Gal11 activator-binding domain 1 has a four-helix fold with a small shallow hydrophobic cleft at its center. In the bound complex, …
