Abstract
The 500 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of a 68-residue peptide, encompassing the rat thyroid transcription factor 1 homeodomain (TTF-1 HD), was fully assigned using standard 2D NMR methodology. The secondary structure elements and their spatial organization were determined and led to a structure very similar to that previously described for other homeodomains and expected also for TTF-1 HD from homology modeling predictions. The three-dimensional arrangement of the three helix fragments of TTF-1 HD preserves the helix-tum-helix motif commonly occurring in many classes of DNA-binding proteins.
