Nuclear factor I (NFI) proteins constitute a large family of DNA binding proteins. These
proteins promote the initiation of adenovirus replication and regulate the transcription of viral
and cellular genes. The binding sites for NFI have been reported in a wide variety of
promoters, and they exhibit flexibility in their sequences. To clarify the DNA binding site of
NFI-A, one of the NFI proteins, we performed a polymerase chain reaction-mediated random
site selection, and determined the optimal sequence as 5′-TTGGCANNNN (G/T) CCA (G/A) …
