title: The Y-box factors: a family of nucleic acid binding proteins conserved from Escherichia coli to man.
abstract: The Y-box factors interact specifically with both DNA and RNA. Biologically they have roles in both transcriptional and translational regulation. Conserved through evolution from prokaryotic to eukaryotic organisms they represent a new family of nucleic acid binding proteins.
