Critical structural elements of the VP16 transcriptional activation domain
W D Cress,Steven J. Triezenberg +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanism of transcriptional activation by VP16 and other proteins may involve both ionic and specific hydrophobic interactions with target molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective inhibition of activated but not basal transcription by the acidic activation domain of VP16: evidence for transcriptional adaptors.
TL;DR: It is proposed that GAL4-VP16 acted to titrate an "adaptor" that bridges an interaction between the upstream activator and the basic transcriptional machinery at the TATA box.
