Description | The method is based on the repression of a reporter gene activity by two LexA DNA binding domains with different binding specificities. LexA is a transcription factor with an N-terminal DNA binding/activation domain (DBAct) and a C-terminal dimerization domain. LexA dimerization is required to repress transcription efficiently. The discovery of LexA DNA binding domains that bind to different DNA sequence enabled the development of this system. | Namespace | PSI-MI |
