Sequence-specific binding of DNA by proteins is often the first step in the assembly of regulatory complexes that control cellular processes such as the initiation of gene transcription. The second assembly step is the cooperative interaction of these DNA-bound proteins resulting in the formation of nucleo-protein complexes with highly specific biological activity. 3, record 3, English, - nucleo%2Dprotein

The principle factor responsible for the transcriptional state of the c-fos proto-oncogene is the serum response factor(SRF) which binds a conserved DNA sequence called serum response element(SRE) present in the promoter region of the c-fos gene. In order to elucidate the molecular basis of this interaction, we have solved the crystal structure of a recombinant SRF-SRE complex(Nature, 376 : 490-298, 1995). 3, record 5, English, - serum%20response%20factor
