NF-Y Transcription Factor Sandbox
From Proteopedia
NF-Y transcription factor has three subunits composed of NF-YA, NF-YB, and NFY-C alpha helices. NF-YA binds to both NF-YB and NF-YC subunits and inserts deep into the minor groove of DNA via , which allows the molecule interact with the box. The binding of DNA causes the minor groove to widen at the CCAAT box. An important residue in the catalytic site is . .
