Isolated from proliferating HL60 cells, FBP, FBP2, and FBP3 comprise a family of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins that specifically bind to FUSE elements. The FBP transcription factors share a conserved central DNA-binding domain and show significant homology in their carboxyl-terminal activation domains. Expression of FBP is detected in undifferentiated cells and is substantially decreased following cellular differentiation.
