Svensk definition
En klass av proteiner som ursprungligen påvisades för sin förmåga att binda till DNA-sekvensen CCAAT. Det typiska CCAAT-förstärkarebindande proteinet bildar dimerer och består av en aktiveringsdomän, en DNA-bindande grundregion och en leucinrik dimeriseringsdomän (leucinzipper). CCAAT-bindande faktor är en strukturellt distinkt typ av CCAAT-förstärkarebindande protein (C/EBP), bestående av en trim er av tre olika underenheter.
Engelsk definition
A class of proteins that were originally identified by their ability to bind the DNA sequence CCAAT. The typical CCAAT-enhancer binding protein forms dimers and consists of an activation domain, a DNA-binding basic region, and a leucine-rich dimerization domain (LEUCINE ZIPPERS). CCAAT-BINDING FACTOR is structurally distinct type of CCAAT-enhancer binding protein consisting of a trimer of three different subunits.
