Figure 2. DNA-binding features of the complex.
a, The sequence of PPRE element containing direct repeats of the canonical AGGTCA half-site separated by one base pair (DR1) together with the upstream sequence AAACT specificity element. b, The DBDs and their C-terminal extensions are shown for PPAR-γ (red) and RXR-α (blue). These domains form a polar, DNA-dependent head-to-tail interaction through side chains that converge over the spacer element.
