Eukaryotic gene expression is often controlled by complex and refined combinatorial
transcription factor networks composed of multiprotein complexes that derive their gene …

Transcription factors belonging to the CCAAT-box binding factor family (also known as the
Nuclear Factor Y) are present in all higher eukaryotes. Studies in plants have revealed that …

The evolutionary conserved CCAAT binding protein NF-Y is a common regulatory DNA
binding protein consisting of three distinct subunits. Unlike yeast and mammals, in which …

NF‐Y is a ubiquitous CCAAT‐binding factor composed of NF‐YA, NF‐YB and NF‐YC.
Multiple genes encoding NF‐Y subunits have been identified in plant genomes. It remains …

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a highly conserved trimeric activator that recognizes with high
specificity and affinity the widespread CCAAT box promoter element. We previously cloned …

Gene duplication is an evolutionary mechanism that provides new genetic material. Since
gene duplication is a major driver for molecular evolution, examining the fate of duplicated …

NF-Y is a CCAAT-specific binding factor composed of three distinct subunits. In vertebrates
and fungi all three subunits are encoded by evolutionary conserved single copy genes. In …

The CCAAT motif is found in the promoters of many eukaryotic genes. In yeast a single
complex of three proteins, termed HAP2, HAP3, and HAP5, binds to this sequence, and in …

Abstract NF-Y is a CCAAT-speclfic transcription factor thought to be involved in the
regulation of a variety of eukaryotic genes. It shows a striking sequence similarity with the …

Background NF-Y is a transcription factor that recognizes with high specificity and affinity the
widespread CCAAT box promoter element. It is formed by three subunits: NF-YA and the NF …
