e` electrostatic interactions and (2) the presence of
polar or charged amino acids in the `a' and `d' positions of the
hydrophobic interface. None of the B-ZIP proteins contain only
aliphatic amino acids in the`a' and `d' position. Only six of the
Drosophila B-ZIP proteins contain a "canonical"
hydrophobic interface like the yeast GCN4, and the mammalian JUN, ATF2,
CREB, C/EBP, and PAR leucine zippers, characterized by asparagine in
the second `a' position. Twelve leucine zippers contain polar amino
acids in the first, third, and fourth `a' positions. Circular
dichroism spectroscopy, used to monitor thermal denaturations of a
heterodimerizing leucine zipper system containing either valine (V) or
asparagine (N) in the `a' position, indicates that the V-N
interaction is 2.3 kcal/mole less stable than an N-N interaction and
5.3 kcal/mole less stable than a V-V interaction. Thus, we propose
that the presence of polar amino acids in novel positions of the `a'
position of Drosophila B-ZIP proteins has led to leucine
zippers that homodimerize rather than heterodimerize.
