摘要
Transcription factors 'recognize' relatively short DNA consensus sequences; their full specificity must depend on a broader set of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. Joshi et al. show that, in addition to forming base pair - specific hydrogen bonds in the DNA major groove, certain Hox proteins detect DNA shape in the minor groove.
