Description
Forkhead box (FOX) is a fairly large structural class with approximately 50 TFs. Interestingly, the structure of these TFs, a winged helix-turn-helix protein fold, is similar to the H1 linker histones suggesting that these proteins share a common origin. This similarity is also reflected in the function of these TFs, as like the linker histones, many of these TFs can bind to DNA that is packed into a nucleosome.
