DNA binding eukaryotic proteins. One part of the domain contains a region that mediates sequence specific DNA binding properties and theleucine zipper that is required for the dimerization of two DNA binding regions. The DNA binding region comprises a number of basic aminoacids such asarginine andlysine . Proteins containig this domain aretranscription factors .bZIP transcription factors
bZIP transcription factors are found in all organisms. A recent evolutionary study revealed that 4 bZIP genes were encoded by the genome of the
most recent common ancestor of all plants cite journal |author=Corrêa LGG, Riaño-Pachón DM, Schrago CG, dos Santos RV, Mueller-Roeber B, Vincentz M. |title=The role of bZIP transcription factors in green plant evolution: adaptive features emerging from four founder genes |journal=PLos ONE |volume=3 |issue=8 |pages=e2944 |year=2008 |pmid=18698409 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0002944] .bZIP domain containing proteins
