Galactose-induced gene 4 DNA binding domain (Gal4DBD)
This protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a positive transcriptional regulator for the gene expression of the galactose-induced genes such as GAL1, GAL2, GAL7, GAL10, and MEL1 which are important for galactose import and conversion to glucose [1].
It recognizes a 17 base pair sequence (5'-CGGN11CCG-3') in the upstream activating sequence (UAS-G) of these genes. [2]
GAL4 is used to investigate gene expressions in several organisms (bacteria, plants, fruit flyes) [3].
The protein is controlled by a strong promotor. Binding to UAS-G leads to the expression and detection of the corresponding gene, GFP for example.
