Structural Basis for Sequence-Specific Recognition of DNA by TAL Effectors
Open accessAbstract
Wrapped DNA: TAL effectors are proteins that bacterial pathogens inject into plant cells that bind to host DNA to activate expression of plant genes. The DNA-binding domain of TAL proteins is composed of tandem repeats within which a repeat-variable diresidue sequence confers nucleotide specificity. Deng et al. (p. 720 , published online 5 January) report the structure of the TAL effector dHax3, containing 11.5 repeats, in DNA-free and DNA-bound states, and Mak et al. (p. 716 , published online 5 January) report the structure of the PthXo1 TAL effector, containing 22 repeats, bound to its DNA target. Together, the structures reveal the conformational changes involved in DNA binding and provide the structural basis of DNA recognition.

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.
