Structural highlights
Function
[NFYB6_ARATH] Component of the NF-Y/HAP transcription factor complex. The NF-Y complex stimulates the transcription of various genes by recognizing and binding to a CCAAT motif in promoters. Plays a role in the regulation of the embryogenesis. Involved in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway.[1] [2] [NFYC3_ARATH] Stimulates the transcription of various genes by recognizing and binding to a CCAAT motif in promoters.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The structural analysis of the L1L/NF-YC3 histone dimer from A. thaliana shows that it can trimerize and bind to the CCAAT box. Specific sequence and structural features at the protein/DNA interface, in particular the presence of a Asp-His pair, help explain the molecular mechanisms of LEC1/L1L activity as a bona fide mammalian-like NF-YB.
