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 …

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 …

The CCAAT box is one of the most common cis-elements present in eukaryotic promoters
and is bound by the transcription factor NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y). NF-Y is composed of …

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is an evolutionarily conserved trimeric transcription factor complex
present in nearly all eukaryotes. The heterotrimeric NF-Y complex consists of three subunits …

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 …

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 …

SUMMARY NF‐Y transcription factor comprises three subunits: NF‐YA, NF‐YB and NF‐YC.
NF‐YB and NF‐YC dimerize through their histone fold domain (HFD), which can bind DNA …

Abstract Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) is a trimeric complex that binds to the CCAAT box, a
ubiquitous eukaryotic promoter element. The three subunits NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC are …

Highlights•NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) are transcription factors found in all
eukaryotes.•There are three unique NF-Y families—NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC.•NF-Y …

Abstract Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) is a heterotrimeric transcription factor that binds CCAAT
elements. The NF-Y trimer is composed of a Histone Fold Domain (HFD) dimer (NF-YB/NF …
