<h4>Background</h4>The transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a ubiquitously expressed, multifunctional protein that controls a large number of genes and biological processes in vertebrates. As a general transcription factor, the proper levels of YY1 protein need to be maintained for the normal function of cells and organisms. However, the mechanism for the YY1 homeostasis is currently unknown.<h4>Results</h4>The current study reports that the YY1 gene locus of all vertebrates contains a clust ...[more]
