In silico characterization and evolutionary analyses of CCAAT binding proteins in the lycophyte plant Selaginella moellendorffii genome: A growing comparative genomics resource
NF-Y TFs encoded by HAP gene family bind to the CCAAT-containing promoter sequences. We characterize duplicated HAP genes in Selaginella moellendorffii. Evolutionary relationships of LEC1-type of HAP3 genes have been studied. Detect thermodynamically stable conserved RNA secondary structures. Identified several conserved motifs in LEC1 proteins among all plant lineages during evolution.
