The Arabidopsis WRKY11 (AtWRKY11) protein is an important transcription factor involved in plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Its DNA-binding domain specifically binds to gene promoter regions harboring the W-box consensus motif. Herein we report the high-resolution structure of the AtWRKY11 DNA-binding domain (DBD) determined by solution NMR spectroscopy. The results show that AtWRKY11-DBD adopts an all-β fold comprising five β-strands packed in an antiparallel topology, stabilized by a zinc-finger motif. Structural comparison reveals that the long β1-β2 loop shows the highest structural variation from other available WRKY domain structures. Moreover, this loop was further found to contribute to the binding between AtWRKY11-DBD and W-box DNA. Our current study provides atomic-level structural basis for further understanding the structure-function relationship of plant WRKY proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010940 Plant Proteins Proteins found in plants (flowers, herbs, shrubs, trees, etc.). The concept does not include proteins found in vegetables for which PLANT PROTEINS, DIETARY is available. Plant Protein,Protein, Plant,Proteins, Plant
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine). DNA, Double-Stranded,Deoxyribonucleic Acid,ds-DNA,DNA, Double Stranded,Double-Stranded DNA,ds DNA
D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
