Crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of the DNA-binding domain of hepatocyte nuclear factor-6alpha complexed with DNA.
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 (HNF-6)/OC-1, a part of liver-enriched transcription factor, controls pancreas and liver development and regulates expression of several hepatic genes. DNA-binding region of HNF-6alpha bound to a 14-mer DNA fragment has been crystallized by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. The crystals belong to space group P2 with unit cell parameters of a = 73.0 A, b = 39.0 A, c = 106.5 A, beta = 107.6 degrees. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.0 A resolution.
