Abstract excerpt
Transcription of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes depends upon the trimeric complexes RFX and NF-Y binding to the conserved X-Y promoter elements. We produced and purified the RFX subunits from Escherichia coli, reconstituted DNA-binding to the mouse Ea X box and dissected the interactions with NF-Y. RFX and NF-Y do not interact in solution, but make cooperative interactions in EMSA: a...
