Background: A putative intramolecular interaction in the Islet 1 (Isl1) transcription factor inhibits DNA binding. Results: An intramolecular interaction between the LIM domains and LIM homeobox 3 (Lhx3)-binding domain in Isl1 was characterized. Conclusion: The intramolecular interaction within Isl1 is weak but specific. Significance: This interaction likely prevents unproductive binding in the absence of cofactor proteins. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
