Mechanisms of CP190 Interaction with Architectural Proteins in Drosophila Melanogaster

Most of the known Drosophila architectural proteins interact with an important cofactor, CP190, that contains three domains (BTB, M, and D) that are involved in protein–protein interactions. The highly conserved N-terminal CP190 BTB domain forms a stable homodimer that interacts with unstructured re...
