Abstract

Appending negatively charged Glu8 tails to a peptide dimer derived from the GCN4 transcription factor leads to an effective suppression of its DNA binding. The specific DNA recognition can be restored by irradiation with UV light by using a photolabile linker between the acidic tail and the DNA binding peptide.
