Nuclear transcription factor Y

From Proteopedia

Human nuclear transcription factor Y subunit α (cyan), subunit β (green) and subunit γ (pink) complex with HSP70 promoter DNA fragment (PDB code 4awl) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Nuclear transcription factor Y (NFY) binds to a CCAAT sequence of gene promoters. NFY contains 3 subunits while subunit α binds the promoter box sequence[1]. See details in NF-Y Transcription Factor. Relevance NFY is a regulatory factor for many genes which are overexpressed in many kinds of cancer[2]. Structural highlights (PDB code 4awl). The [3].
