The yeast regulatory gene PHO4 encodes a helix-loop-helix motif.
Evidence is presented, based on sequence comparisons and secondary structure prediction, of the presence of a DNA-binding and dimerization helix-loop-helix motif in the yeast transcription activator PHO4. Interest in the existence of this first known motif in yeast is discussed.
