GAL4 interacts with TATA-binding protein and coactivators

K Melcher, SA Johnston - Molecular and cellular biology, 1995 - Taylor & Francis
A major goal in understanding eukaryotic gene regulation is to identify the target (s) of
transcriptional activators. Efforts to date have pointed to various candidates. Here we show …

The strength of acidic activation domains correlates with their affinity for both transcriptional and non-transcriptional proteins

K Melcher - Journal of molecular biology, 2000 - Elsevier
Activation domains (ADs) appear to work by making specific protein-protein contacts with the
transcriptional machinery. However, ADs show no apparent sequence conservation, they …
