The N uclear F actor I (NFI) family of site-specific DNA-binding proteins (also known as CTF
or C AAT box t ranscription f actor) functions both in viral DNA replication and in the …

The matrilin family at present has four members that all share a structure made up of von
Willebrand factor A domains, epidermal growth factor-like domains and a coiled coil α …

The matrilins form a family of oligomeric extracellular adaptor proteins that are most strongly
expressed in cartilage but also present in many other extracellular matrices. Matrilins bind to …

The transcription factor family of nuclear factor I (NFI) proteins is encoded by four closely
related genes: Nfia, Nfib, Nfic, and Nfix. A potential role for NFI proteins in regulating …

Nfix belongs to a family of four highly conserved proteins that act as transcriptional activators
and/or repressors of cellular and viral genes. We previously showed a pivotal role for Nfix in …

Muscular dystrophies are severe disorders due to mutations in structural genes, and are
characterized by skeletal muscle wasting, compromised patient mobility, and respiratory …

Sciatica or the sciatic syndrome is a common and often disabling low back disorder in the
working-age population. It has a relatively high heritability but poorly understood molecular …

The distal region (− 830 to− 720 bp) of the rat whey acidic protein (WAP) gene contains a
composite response element (CoRE), which has been demonstrated previously to confer …

Cytochrome P450c17 catalyzes steroid 17α-hydroxylase and 17, 20 lyase activities, which
are required for the biosynthesis of cortisol and sex steroids. Human P450c17 is expressed …

Cbfa1 is a critical regulator of cell differentiation expressed only in the osteochondrogenic
lineage. To define the molecular basis of this cell-specific expression we analyzed the …
