Structural and Biological Features of FOXP3 Dimerization Relevant to Regulatory T Cell Function

FOXP3 is a key transcription factor for regulatory T cell function. We report the crystal structure of the FOXP3 coiled-coil domain, through which a loose or transient dimeric association is formed and modulated, accounting for the activity variations introduced by disease-causing mutations or post...
