Also known as HAP2CBF-BNF-YA
Summary
NFYA (nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha, HGNC:7804) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.1, encoding Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (P23511). Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5’-CCAAT-3’ box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 12.3% of cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene is one subunit of a trimeric complex, forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds to CCAAT motifs in the promoter regions in a variety of genes. Subunit A associates with a tight dimer composed of the B and C subunits, resulting in a trimer that binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. The sequence specific interactions of the complex are made by the A subunit, suggesting a role as the regulatory subunit. In addition, there is evidence of post-transcriptional regulation in this gene product, either by protein degradation or control of translation. Further regulation is represented by alternative splicing in the glutamine-rich activation domain, with clear tissue-specific preferences for the two isoforms.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5’-CCAAT-3’ box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. NF-Y can function as both an activator and a repressor, depending on its interacting cofactors. NF-YA positively regulates the transcription of the core clock component BMAL1.
Subunit / interactions. Heterotrimeric transcription factor composed of three components, NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. NF-YB and NF-YC must interact and dimerize for NF-YA association and DNA binding. Interacts with SP1; the interaction is inhibited by glycosylation of SP1. Interacts with ZHX1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with ZHX2 (via homeobox domain). Interacts with ZFX3.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the NFYA/HAP2 subunit family.
