Y-box proteins are major constituents of ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) which contain translationally silent mRNAs in gametic cells. were originally isolated based on their ability to bind the double-stranded (dsDNA) sequence 5-CCAAT-3 (29). Later on work defined the Y-box element as 5-CTGATTGG(C/T)(C/T)AA-3, which contains a reverse CCAAT package (in boldface). This regulatory element is found in… Continue reading Y-box proteins are major constituents of ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) which contain
