in vitro, whose core is 5 ′ -CAAAG-3 ′ (Philley <strong>and</strong><br />

Staben 1994). This binding sequence is identical to<br />

the binding site of the SOX-TCF_HMG box, suggesting<br />

that SOX-TCF <strong>and</strong> MATA-HMG boxes may<br />

function in a very similar way, although these pro-<br />

teins are placed in separate families. MAT1-1-3 proteins<br />

display several features that distinguish them<br />

from MAT1-2-1, <strong>and</strong> suggest that they could have<br />

very different DNA-binding properties. The structures<br />

of the HMG boxes in MAT1-1-3 <strong>and</strong> MAT1-2-1
