CCAAT box

[Mr. D. Edwards]

I am currently isolating CCAAT box binding transcription factors
from Arabidopsis. From looking several CCAAT boxes in plant promoters,
few seem to show much similarity to characterised CCAAT boxes from
other organisms. However as CCAAT box specific transcription factors 
have been isolated from plants, I assume they play some role in gene 
regulation. Is anyone else working on/interested in CCAAT boxes in 
plants?
