The Y-box factors interact specifically with both DNA and RNA. Biologically they have roles
in both transcriptional and translational regulation. Conserved through evolution from …

The Y‐box proteins are defined by their ability to bind to Y‐box promoter elements and to
help regulate transcription of a wide variety of genes. However, Y‐box proteins are also …

The Y box factors bind to a specific DNA sequence (the Y box, containing a reverse CCAAT
element) and have been implicated in the regulation of transcription. We have used deletion …

Eukaryotlc Y-box proteins are reported to interact with a wide variety of nucleic acid
structures to act as transcription factors and mRNA masking proteins. The modular structure …

The Y‐box proteins are the most evolutionarily conserved nucleic acid binding proteins yet
defined in bacteria, plants and animals. The central nucleic acid binding domain of the …

Y-box proteins are multifunctional regulators of gene expression. In somatic cells, they have
the capacity to exert positive and negative effects on both transcription and translation. In …

Single‐stranded regions, known to be important for optimal rates of transcription, have been
observed in the promoters of several cellular genes as well as in the promoters of many …

We describe the cloning and characterization of two cDNAs from Xenopus laevis that
encode sequence-specific DNA binding proteins called FRG Y1 and FRG Y2 (frog Y-box …

Previous studies have shown that the transcription factor YY1 can both activate and repress
transcription of many mammalian genes (reviewed by Hahn (Hahn, S.(1992) Curr. Biol. 2 …

p50, the major core protein of messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs), is a
universal protein found exclusively in association with different mRNA species in the …
