helix-loop-helix

helix-loop-helix
A motif associated with transcription factors, allowing them to recognize and bind to specific DNA sequences. Two alpha-helices are separated by a loop. Examples: myoblast MyoD 1, c- myc, Drosophila genes daughterless, hairy, twist, scute, achaete, asense. Not the same as helix-turn-helix.
