Abstract

The human transcription factor, RFX1, is found to belong to the winged- helix family of DNA binding proteins, despite an absence of significant sequence similarity. Even more surprising is the very different mode of DNA binding as compared with previously characterized winged-helix proteins that bind to B-form DNA.
