The CCAAT-box binding protein 1 (CTF1, also called NF-I or NF-1) is a proline-rich transcription activator. It selectively activates transcription of genes that contain GCCAAT consensus sequence in the promoter region, including human Ha-Ras, alpha-globin, hsp70 and many other cellular and viral genes. Cloning and functional characterization of the protein revealed that CTF1 contains a N-terminal DNA binding domain and a C-terminal proline-rich activation domain. CTF1 was shown to interact with the general transcription factor IIB (TFIIB) and facilitate the recruitment of TFIIB to TBP-DNA complexes, with the forkhead thyroid transcription factor TTF2 to regulate hormone-dependent transcription of thyroperoxidase gene, as well as other receptor proteins to synergize hormone receptor-responsive activation.

Preparation Note
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. While working, please keep sample on ice.
Human CTF/NF-I consists of a family of CCAAT box binding proteins that activate both transcription and DNA replication. Analysis of cDNA mutants expressed in E. coli and Drosophila cells reveals that the N-terminal portion of CTF-1 is sufficient for site-specific
The CTF/NF-I group of cellular DNA binding proteins recognizes the sequence GCCAAT and is implicated in eukaryotic transcription as well as DNA replication. Molecular analysis of human CTF/NF-I complementary DNA clones reveals multiple messenger RNA species containing alternative coding regions
Transcription factor CTF, which is responsible for selective recognition of eukaryotic promoters that contain the sequence CCAAT, was purified to apparent homogeneity by sequence-specific DNA affinity chromatography. Binding sites for CTF in the human Ha-ras and alpha-globin promoters were highly
