Figure 1. Identified proteins in the LSF subfamily.

Figure 1

Both human and mouse genomes contain three genes encoding LSF subfamily members. A splicing variant mRNA lacking one exon of the LSF gene encodes LSF-ID (LBP- 1d). A splicing variant mRNA containing an extra exon of the LBP-1a/b gene encodes the protein LBP-1b. While the LSF and LBP-1a/b genes are ubiquitously expressed, the third paralog, LBP9, exhibits a more limited expression profile; LBP9 also apparently lacks the transcriptional activation region conserved between LSF and LBP-1a/b. All LSF subfamily members oligomerize with each other.
