Human Gene NFYA (ENST00000341376.11) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (NFYA), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_002505)
RefSeq Summary (NM_002505): The protein encoded by this gene is one subunit of a trimeric complex, forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds to CCAAT motifs in the promoter regions in a variety of genes. Subunit A associates with a tight dimer composed of the B and C subunits, resulting in a trimer that binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. The sequence specific interactions of the complex are made by the A subunit, suggesting a role as the regulatory subunit. In addition, there is evidence of post-transcriptional regulation in this gene product, either by protein degradation or control of translation. Further regulation is represented by alternative splicing in the glutamine-rich activation domain, with clear tissue-specific preferences for the two isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

  ID: NFYA_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha; AltName: Full=CAAT box DNA-binding protein subunit A; AltName: Full=Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit A; Short=NF-YA;
FUNCTION: Stimulates the transcription of various genes by recognizing and binding to a CCAAT motif in promoters, for example in type 1 collagen, albumin and beta-actin genes.
SUBUNIT: Heterotrimeric transcription factor composed of three components, NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. NF-YB and NF-YC must interact and dimerize for NF-YA association and DNA binding. Interacts with SP1; the interaction is inhibited by glycosylation of SP1. Interacts with ZHX1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with ZHX2 (via homeobox domain). Interacts with ZFX3.
INTERACTION: Q92624:APPBP2; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-389739, EBI-743771; P25208:NFYB; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-389739, EBI-389728; Q13952:NFYC; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-389739, EBI-389755; Q07955:SRSF1; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-389739, EBI-398920; P04637:TP53; NbExp=11; IntAct=EBI-389739, EBI-366083;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NFYA/HAP2 subunit family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 NFYA/HAP2-type DNA-binding domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
