title: Transcription: activation by cooperating conformations.
abstract: The cooperative formation of a higher-order complex between transcription factors NFAT and Fos-Jun is accompanied by conformational changes in both DNA and protein. This allows formation of an extended interface between the proteins, while conserving recognition of the core DNA binding sequences.
