Downstream transcription factor II B recognition element gene transcriptions
Editor-In-Chief: Henry A. Hoff
Template:TOCright The downstream B recognition element designated as the BREd,[1] or dBRE, is an additional core promoter element that occurs downstream of the TATA box and is recognized by general transcription factor II B.[1]
Consensus sequences
A consensus sequence is 5'-A/G-T-A/G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-3' or in the transcription direction on the template strand 3'-A/G-T-A/G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-5'.[1]
Eukaryote genes
Of 140 promoters from the eukaryotic promoter database, "[S]ix percent ... [contain] at least six out of seven bases of the consensus sequence, 18% contain at least five of seven bases and 37% contain at least four of seven".[1]
Human genes
GeneID: 9555 H2A histone family, member Y (H2AFY)[2] "contains a poor TATA element, but both a consensus Inr and DPE in addition to a six/seven match BREd."[1]
General transcription factor II Bs
A TFIIB recognition element (BRE) functions to determine the orientation of the TFIIB-TBP-TATA complex that projects the zinc ribbon of TFIIB toward the TSS.[3]
General transcription factor II B can recognize two distinct sequence elements that flank the TATA box.[1] "The selected sequences contain a strong representation of [ guanine (G) and thymine (T)] bases and a striking preference against [ adenine (A)] (especially between bases -17 and -20)."[1]
"[T]here are ... some weakly conserved features including the TFIIB-Recognition Element (BRE), approximately 5 nucleotides upstream (BREu) and 5 nucleotides downstream (BREd) of the TATA box.[4]"[5]
The TFIIB-DNA contact with the BREd takes place via the minor groove, while that with the upstream B recognition element (BREu) takes place through the major groove.[1]
Transcription start sites
dBRE is cis-TATA box, between the TATA box and the Inr or transcription start site (TSS) and trans-TSS.[1]
Hypotheses
- The dBRE is not involved in the transcription of A1BG.
