Question

The homeodomain encodes:
A)a helix-turn-helix motif.
B)an ATP-binding domain.
C)a leucine zipper.
D)a zinc-finger.
E)a protease.

Accepted Answer

The homeodomain is a DNA-binding domain that contains a helix-turn-helix motif. This motif allows it to recognize and bind specific DNA sequences. The other choices listed are domains found in other proteins, but not in the homeodomain.
