CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE THE FACULTY OF NATURAL SCIENCE Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry The summary of the doctoral thesis Study of interactions of forkhead transcription factor FOXO4 with DNA and the 14-3-3 protein RNDr. Petr Vácha Scientific supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Tomáš Obšil, Ph.D. Prague 2015 Abstract This doctoral thesis deals with the interaction of human forkhead transcription factor FOXO4 with DNA and regulating 14-3-3 protein respectively. The main aim of this work was detailed characterization of interaction between DNA binding domain of protein FOXO4 with two canonical DNA sequences and further clarifying the role of the 14-3-3 protein in the regulation of activity of protein FOXO4. FOXO transcription factors are potent activators of the transcription of genes, which affect a variety of cellular processes. FOXO4 protein belongs to the family of forkhead transcription factor, which is a group of several tens of proteins, whose common feature is a highly conserved DNA- binding domain. Summary of the DNA binding specificity of these proteins, namely what precisely determines the small differences in the binding properties of individual forkhead proteins, despite the large amount of available structural data remains still unclear. Therefore, detailed characterization of...
