Preferred Term:

leucina zipper

Definition:
Motivos que se unen al ADN formados por dos alfa hélices que se entrelazan durante 8 giros en una espiral enrollada y luego se bifurcan para formar unas estructuras en forma de Y. Las leucinas que ocurren en repeticiones heptádicas terminan en los mismos lados de las hélices y son adyacentes unas a otras en el tronco de la Y (la región "zipper"). Los residuos que se unen al ADN se encuentran en la región bifurcada de la Y.
