AP-1 transcription factor - Wikipedia
AP-1 transcription factor is assembled through the dimerization of a characteristic bZIP domain (basic region leucine zipper) in the Fos and Jun subunits. A typical bZIP domain consists of a "leucine zipper" region, and a "basic region". The leucine zipper is responsible for dimerization of the Jun and Fos protein subunits.This structural motif twists two alpha helical protein domains ...
