PROSITE documentation PDOC52003 |
The 23 amino acid OCA domain, which binds to class II POU domain-containing transcription factors (TFs) and a DNA octamer motif in a bivalent manner, are found in the POU2AF family of coactivators [1,2]:
An OCA domain is also found in another family of cofactors, the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB inhibitor zeta (IkappaBzeta) proteins, NF-kappaB regulators which function not only as repressors but also as activators of a selective subset of NF-kappaB target genes [3].
The OCA domain is made of a N-terminal extended polypeptide strand and a C-terminal two-turn α helix (see <PDB:1CQT>) [1].
The profile we developed covers the entire OCA domain.
