D) Confers extensive additional specificity
Which of the following is NOT true about the DNA binding of the extension of a homeobox motif protein
A) Confers additional affinity
B) Does not change the DNA sequence the protein binds to
C) Confers only some additional specificity
D) Confers extensive additional specificity
Explanation / Answer
D. Confers extensive additional specificity.
A homeobox is a DNA sequence, around 180 base pairs long, found within genes that are involved in the regulation of patterns of anatomical development (morphogenesis) in animals, fungi and plants. These genes encode homeodomain protein products that are transcription factors sharing a characteristic protein fold structure that binds DNA.
