Disease relevance of NFYC

  • The acrylic and HSM PMMA groups had the lowest incidence of relapses [1].
  • Polymorphism in anhydrous picotamide, i.e., nucleation of crystal forms A, mp 135.5 +/- 0.4 degrees C, and B, mp 152.9 +/- 0.3 degrees C after dehydration of PICOW, was detected by DSC and HSM [2].
  • CONCLUSION: No clinical advantage was found when the HSM IOL was compared with the regular PMMA IOL in 43 patients with uveitis [3].
 

High impact information on NFYC

  • We describe here the basis for this strict requirement by demonstrating that both ATF6alpha and ATF6beta physically interact with NF-Y trimer via direct binding to the NF-YC subunit [4].
  • We then performed a mutational analysis of CBF-C to define functional interactions with the other two CBF subunits and with DNA using several in vitro assays and an in vivo yeast two-hybrid system [5].
  • Analysis of the first class of mutants revealed that a major part of the conserved segment was essential for interactions with CBF-C to form a heterodimeric CBF-A/CBF-C complex [6].
  • The cloning of H1TF2A, the large subunit of this factor, reveals it to be a glutamine-rich protein with extremely limited similarity to previously cloned CCAAT-binding proteins [7].
  • The structure together with the modeling of the nonspecific interaction of NF-YC/NF-YB with DNA and the full NF-Y/CCAAT box complex highlight important structural features that account for different and possibly similar biological functions of the transcriptional regulators NF-Y and NC2 [8].
 

Biological context of NFYC

  • A point mutation in the NFYC gene generates an antigenic peptide recognized by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes on a human squamous cell lung carcinoma [9].
  • The segment of CBF-A necessary for DNA binding showed sequence homology to a segment of CBF-C [6].
  • The isolated human CBF-C cDNA is 1977 nt long and consists of the full-length 3'-untranslated region (781 nt) with a poly (A) tail at the 3' end 185 nucleotides of 5'-untranslated region and the open reading frame (1011 nt), encoding a 337-aa protein with 91.7% homology with the translated region of rat CBF-C cDNA [10].
  • At least eight genes with homologies to CBF-C are present in the Arabidopsis genome; one of them exhibits striking similarities to the gene for the human global transcriptional repressor Drap1 [11].
  • Speech intelligibility in quiet and CCITT noise from the side (+/-90 degrees ) was assessed using the German HSM sentence test and was significantly better when using bilateral CI in comparison with either unilateral CI, mainly due to a head shadow effect [12].
 

Anatomical context of NFYC

 

Associations of NFYC with chemical compounds

  • CONCLUSIONS: No significant difference was observed in inflammation between eyes having HSM PMMA IOL implantation or those having soft hydrophobic acrylic IOL implantation through the same-size incision [15].
  • HSM studies indicated that the Gelucire crystallised into two main spherulitic conformations; paracetamol appeared to act as a nucleation site for the lower melting fractions while caffeine particles changed into a needle-shaped morphology on cooling the system from the liquid state [16].
 

Physical interactions of NFYC

  • The Bdbd polypeptide interacts with cellular CBF-A/CBF-C and binds to promoters containing CBF-binding sites [17].
 

Other interactions of NFYC

  • Two subunits, NF-YB and NF-YC, contain a histone-like motif [13].
  • Chromosomal assignment and tissue expression of CBF-C/NFY-C, the third subunit of the mammalian CCAAT-binding factor [18].
  • We expressed and purified the yeast homology domain of NF-YC in bacteria and performed EMSA together with the corresponding conserved domains of NF-YA and NF-YB, obtaining a CCAAT-binding mini-NF-Y [13].
  • In particular, it emphasizes the role of the newly described alphaC helix of NF-YC, which is both important for NF-Y trimerization and a target for regulatory proteins, such as MYC and p53 [8].
  • The CCAAT-activator NF-Y and DeltaNp63alpha are associated in vivo and a conserved alpha-helix of the NF-YC histone fold is required. p63 AEC mutants, but not an EEC mutant, are incapable to bind NF-Y [19].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NFYC

  • Sedimentation velocity centrifugation experiments confirm that two pools of NF-YB, and most likely NF-YC, exist: one associated with NF-YA and binding to the CCAAT box; another involved in high molecular weight complexes [20].
  • This indicates that hydrophobic acrylic and HSM PMMA materials induce the same degree of BAB breakdown after phacoemulsification in eyes of diabetic patients [15].
  • RESULTS: Posterior capsule opacification developed in 47 cases (15.6%): 21.7% in the PMMA lens group after planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), 17.4% in the HSM PMMA lens group after planned ECCE, and 7.7% in the plate-haptic silicone lens group after phacoemulsification [21].
  • Dispersions containing up to 30% w/w drug were prepared and studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), hot stage differential interference contrast microscopy (HSM), dissolution studies and erosion, water uptake (WU) and diameter change measurements [16].
  • The HSM sentence test as a tool for evaluating the speech understanding in noise of cochlear implant users [22].
