Polycomb response element gene transcriptions

"Recruitment of Drosophila melanogaster [Polycomb-group] PcG proteins to target genes requires the presence of one or more Polycomb Response Elements (PREs)."[1]

Only "Pleiohomeotic (Pho) is present at all strong PREs."[1]

"The giant (gt) locus has two PREs, a proximal PRE1 and a distal PRE2. During early embryonic development, Pho binds to PRE1 ∼30-min prior to stable binding to PRE2."[1]

"PRE2 recruits PcG proteins and maintains transcriptional repression independently of Pho binding to PRE1. Pho-like (Phol) is partially redundant with Pho during larval development and binds to the same DNA sequences in vitro Although binding of Pho to PRE1 is dependent on the presence of consensus Pho-Phol-binding sites".[1]

Human genes

Consensus sequences

"Two predicted [Pleiohomeotic] Pho-Phol binding sites, CGCCATTT, that closely resemble the extended Pho-Phol consensus sequence, CGCCAT(T/A)TT (Kahn et al. 2014), are located within PRE1.1 [...]."[1]

"Only one additional site resembling the Pho-Phol core consensus sequence (GCCAT) is near region 4, 137-bp downstream from the TSS. The nearest upstream GCCAT sequences are ∼1 kb from the TSS (−968 and −1049)."[1]

Core samplings

Copying the apparent consensus sequence for the PRE (GCCAT) and putting it in "⌘F" finds none located between ZSCAN22 or between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.

For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence GCCAT (starting with SuccessablesPRE1.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

Comparison:

The occurrences of real PRE UTRs and negative distals are greater than the randoms, the positive distals are less than the randoms. This suggests that the real PREs are likely active or activable.
