Compilation and analysis of eukaryotic POL II promoter sequences

Open access
Bucher, Philipp, Trifonov, Edward N.·1986·Nucleic Acids Research

Abstract

A representative set of 168 eukaryotic POL II promoters has been compiled from the EMBL library and subjected to computer signal search analysis. Application of this technique to E. coli promoters as a control ensemble revealed the well known consensus sequences at -35 and -10 which indicates that the methods are adequate to approach problems of this kind. The results obtained from the eukaryotic promoter set can be summarized as follows: Common sequence features are confined to a region between -50 and +10 relative to the transcriptional initiation site. The only well conserved consensus sequence is TATAAA, centered at -28. A weak motif, CA followed preferentially by pyrimidines, surrounds the cap-site. Two pentanucleotides which have been shown by experiments to stimulate transcription of certain genes, GGGCG and CCAAT, are moderately over-represented in the upstream region (between -129 and -50). However, they occur at highly variable distances from the initiation site.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
