The CCAAT box is one of the most common elements in eukaryotic promoters, found in the
forward or reverse orientation. Among the various DNA binding proteins that interact with …

The CCAAT box promoter element and NF-Y, the transcription factor (TF) that binds to it,
were among the first cis-elements and trans-acting factors identified; their interplay is …

NF-Y is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that recognizes the Y box, a promoter
element common to ail major hist~ om~ tibiii~ complex class ii genes. Since the 1Gbase Y …

NF‐Y binds a CCAAT motif found in many eukaryotic polymerase II‐dependent promoters. In
the HLA‐DRA promoter it has been demonstrated that stereo‐specific alignment between …

Both the TATA and CCAAT boxes are widespread promoter elements and their binding
proteins, TBP and NF-Y, are extremely conserved in evolution. NF-Y is composed of three …

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 …

NF‐Y is a CCAAT box binding protein critical for the expression of diverse eukaryotic genes.
We have purified the A and B subunits of NF‐Y and, using microsequencing and PCR …

CBF is a heterotrimeric protein that binds to DNA containing CCAAT motifs. Here we have
analyzed interactions of recombinant CBF with DNA using hydroxyl radical footprinting and …

Optimized weight matrices defining four major eukaryotic promoter elements, the TATA-box,
cap signal, CCAAT-, and GC-box, are presented; they were derived by comparative …

Protein coding genes are transcribed by Polymerase II, under the control of short discrete
DNA elements in promoters and enhancers, recognized with high efficiency and specificity …
