IPT domain of eukaryotic transcription factors NF-kappaB/Rel, nuclear factor of activated Tcells (NFAT), and recombination signal J-kappa binding protein (RBP-Jkappa). The IPT domains in these proteins are involved in DNA binding. Most NF-kappaB/Rel proteins form homo- and heterodimers, while NFAT proteins are largely monomeric (with TonEBP being an exception). While the majority of sequence-specific DNA binding elements are found in the N-terminal domain, several are found in the IPT domain in loops adjacent to, and including, the linker region.
