Full-length cDNA clones for the CBF-A and CBF-B subunits of the CCAAT binding mammalian heteromeric transcription factor (CBF) have previously been isolated from both rat and mouse. Whereas recombinant CBF-B binds to DNA after complementation with a highly purified CBF-A fraction, recombinant CBF-A was unable to bind to DNA after complementation with either purified CBF-B or recombinant CBF-B. However, when recombinant CBF-A, synthesized as a fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase was denatured together with a highly purified fraction containing CBF-A in the presence of 5.5 M guanidine hydrochloride and subsequently renatured, the recombinant CBF-A bound to DNA after complementation with CBF-B. This binding of recombinant CBF-A could not be detected if recombinant CBF-A was not mixed during the denaturation-renaturation process together with the purified fraction containing the 32-kDa CBF-A. Using a Southwestern blot we demonstrated that a polypeptide of approximately 40 kDa, present in the purified CBF-A fraction, bound to DNA after complementation with both recombinant CBF-A and CBF-B. After fractionation of the purified CBF-A preparation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a species of approximately 40 kDa was eluted from the gel and shown to have DNA binding activity after complementation with both recombinant CBF-A and CBF-B. Our results indicate that a third polypeptide, designated CBF-C, forms a tight complex with CBF-A. Together with CBF-A and CBF-B, CBF-C is required for the DNA binding activity of CBF.
