We show that the presence of a regulatory cis-acting element that flanks the core octamer site and dictates selectivity in the response to Vmw65 (VP16), while dispensable for POU binding per se, induces a conformational alteration in the nature of the POU domain in the DNA complex. A single substitution in the flanking signal distorts the POU complex and without affecting overall POU binding prevents Vmw65 interaction. Alternatively, substitution of a residue in the homeodomain predicted to contact the GARAT region prevents its recognition even on a wild-type motif, causing a reversion to the DNA binding pattern seen on a cellular motif and at the same time inefficient recognition by Vmw65. The results indicate that Vmw65 recognizes a particular POU domain conformation induced by the presence of the flanking GARAT region.
