Why is the diagram being used showing a leucine zipper motif binding to DNA? Leucine zipper motifs are known protein:protein interaction domains, not DNA binding domains. The article itself even says so.

You sure? I'm pretty sure the Glick dictionary I used for "leucine scissors" said it was DNA-binding motif too. Additionally the article does say:

These proteins [-Leucine zipper regulatory proteins-] interact with the DNA as dimers (homo- or hetero-) and are also called basic zipper proteins (bZips).

which to me says leucine zipper molecules interact with DNA. You'll note the picture doesn't have the leucine-containing zipper domain interacting with the DNA. Rather the post-zipper "arms" or "jaws" of teh scissors do.--ZayZayEM (talk) 12:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-02-04T12:45:00.000Z","author":"ZayZayEM","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-ZayZayEM-2008-02-04T12:45:00.000Z-Eganio-2008-02-04T04:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-Eganio-2008-02-05T04:54:00.000Z-ZayZayEM-2008-02-04T12:45:00.000Z"]}}-->

OK, now I see what the diagram is representing...I was looking at it incorrectly. Sorry about that.
