GCN4

What is GCN4?

GCN4 is a transcription factor found in yeast.

What does GCN4 Do?

GCN4 monomers form a dimer that
can initiate transcription of
over 75 proteins.

Where does GCN4 Bind?

GCN4 binds to many DNA sequences. The example on this website is bound to the DNA sequence below.

5'-TGACTCAT-3'
3'-ACTGAGTA-5'

The above sequence is called the AP-1 site (1).
