Abstract

The helix-loop-helix (HLH) DNA-binding domain consists of a closed bundle of four helices in a left-handed twist with two crossover connections. The HLH domain directs dimerisation, and is juxtaposed to basic regions to create a DNA interaction interface surface that recognises specific DNA sequences. Basic region/HLH (bHLH) proteins regulate diverse biological pathways [PubMed10710415]. bHLH proteins include MyoD [PubMed12783965], SREBPs (sterol regulatory element binding proteins) [PubMed9634703], and yeast Pho4 (phosphatase system) [PubMed9303313].

In certain proteins the bHLH domain contains a leucine-zipper motif. The bHLH/leucine zipper (bHLHZip) domain specifies dimerisation within a network of proteins and determines sequence-specific DNA binding [PubMed10378692]. bHLHZip domains occur in the transcription factors Myc, Mad, Max and Usf [PubMed12553908, PubMed8306960].

This entry is bHLHZip, which covers the bHLH domain and the leucine zipper motif, when present.

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 11 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a HLH, helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 11 hidden Markov models representing the HLH, helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
