Protein Structure

NF-Y transcription factor consists of , , and subunits. NF-YA subunit contains two α-helices, NF-YB subunit contains four α-helices and two β-sheets, and NF-YC subunit contains three α-helices and two β-sheets. One of the two α helices of the NF-YA subunit, the N terminal , interacts with NF-YB and NF-YC subunits resulting in a heterotrimer. The NF-Y heterotrimer is stabilized by ionic interactions, interactions between the backbone atoms of residues, and hydrophobic residues. Stabilizing ionic interactions occur between Asn239(NF-YA) with Asp109(NF-YC) and Asp112(NF-YC)<refname="mainarticle">PMID: 23332751</ref>. Residue backbone interactions occur between Leu123(NF-YB) with Phe113(NF-YC), Arg245(NF-YA) with Glu98(NF-YB) and Glu101(NF-YB), Arg249(NF-YA) with Glu90(NF-YB), and Arg250(NF-YA) with Asp116(NF-YC)[1]. Hydrophobic residues that contribute to the stabilization of the NF-Y heterotrimer are only located at NF-YA and NF-YB subunits at residues Ile246(NF-YA), Phe94(NF-YB), and Ile115(NF-YB)[2].

Interaction With DNA

The C terminal of the NF-YA subunit inserts deep into the minor groove of DNA. NF-YA A2 helix binds to the box and causes the minor groove to widen at the CCAAT box. An important residue in the catalytic site is
