The NF-E2-binding sites or Mafrecognition elements (MARE) are essentialcis-acting
elements in the regulatory regions of erythroid-specific genes recognized by the erythroid
transcription factor NF-E2, composed of p45 and MafK. Recently, two p45-related factors
Nrf1 and Nrf2 were isolated, and they are now collectively grouped as the Cap'n'collar
(CNC) family. CNC factors bind to MARE through heterodimer formation with small Maf
proteins. We report here the identification and characterization of a novel CNC factor, Nrf3 …
