Regulation of transcription of MHC class II genes Jeremy M Boss
Genetic and biochemical analyses have identified multiple DNA-binding and non-DNA-binding proteins that functionally regulate MHC class II genes. These include RFX, X2BP, NF-Y, CIITA, OCT-2 and Bob1. One of the essential non-DNA-binding proteins, CIITA, appears to function as a limiting molecular switch that is responsible for the control of class II expression and the regulation of expression by interferon-T.

The transcriptional regulation of MHC class II genes involves the interaction of DNA-binding proteins with specific DNA sequences. The cis elements of the promoter region have now been well delineated functionally, while the proteins that interact with these elements are just beginning to be identif
