This example of a C/D box is a small nucleolar RNA 73 (snoRNA U73). Credit: Rfam database (RF00071).{{free media}}

For "box C/D snoRNAs, boxes C and D and an adjoining stem form a vital structure, known as the box C/D motif."[1]

In snoRNA U73 on the right, from the right side, the D box is AGUCY. In 5' to 3' direction, the D box is YCUGA.

Degenerate nucleotides

For transcription, U (in RNA) is T, Y=(C or T) and R=(A or G).

Consensus sequences

Shown in the image on the right is the D box (3'-AGUCUG-5'). Substituting T for U yields D box = 3'-AGTCTG-5' in the transcription direction on the template strand.

"Members of the box C/D snoRNA family, which are the subject of the present report, possess characteristic sequence elements known as box C (UGAUGA) and box D (GUCUGA)."[1]

D-box (TGAGTGG).[2]

Hypotheses

  1. The D boxes are not involved in the transcription of A1BG.
  2. The promoters of A1BG do not contain a Samarsky D box.

Dbox (Samarsky) analysis and results

The D box (AGUCUG) is determined by substituting T for U to yield D box = AGTCTG in the transcription direction.[1]

Comparison:

The occurrences of real DboxMs are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real DboxMs are likely active or activable.

(Samarsky) D box analysis and results

For "box C/D snoRNAs, boxes C and D and an adjoining stem form a vital structure, known as the box C/D motif."[1] Adjoining Domain B and overlapping for two nucleotides is Box D: GUCUGA from Domain B where "GU" are also at the end of Domain B, with the inverse being AGUCUG and replacing U with T yields a likely consensus sequence to search for AGTCTG.[1]

The real consensus sequences are AGTCTG at 2947 in the UTR between A1BG and ZSCAN22 with an occurrence of 0.5, three in the distal promoter also in the negative direction for an occurrence of 1.5, and six in the positive direction for an occurrence of 3.0.

The randoms had one in the UTR: AGTCTG at 4073 in the arbitrary negative direction for an occurrence of 0.1, four in the negative direction in the distal promoter for an occurrence of 0.4 and seven in the positive direction for an occurrence of 0.7.

By comparison, the occurrences are systematically higher for the reals than the randoms which suggests that the reals are likely active or activable.

(Voronina) D box analysis and results

The reals have four consensus sequences in the UTR for an occurrence of 2.0.

There is only one core promoter of eight promoters for an occurrence of 0.125.

Proximal promoters have two occurrences among eight possibilities for an occurrence of 0.25.

Distal promoters have twenty-eight consensus sequences in the negative direction for an occurrence 3.5.

In the positive direction has twenty-three consensus sequences in the positive direction for an occurrence 2.875.

The randoms had seventeen UTR consensus sequences for an occurrence of 1.7.

The randoms had one core promoter from twenty opportunities for an occurrence of 0.05.

In the proximal promoters, the randoms had three in the arbitrary negative direction and four in the positive direction for occurrences of 0.3 and 0.4.

For the distal promoters, the negative direction had twenty-nine consensus sequences for an occurrence of 2.9.

In the positive direction, the randoms had thirty-four consensual sequences for an occurrence of 3.4.

In comparison for the distal promoters, the random sequences had approximately the same occurrences as the reals. For the proximal promoters the randoms had slightly more occurrences than the reals. For the core promoters, the randoms had slightly less occurrences. For the UTR the randoms had slightly less occurrences than the reals (1.7 vs. 2.0). Based on the UTR and core promoters it appears that the reals are likely active or activable.

(Motojima) D-box analysis and results

D-box (TGAGTGG).[2]

The real promoters have two inverse complements in the UTR positive strand, negative direction: CCACTCA at 4487 nucleotides from the end of gene ZSCAN22 and negative strand, negative direction: CCACTCA at 3827, for an occurrence of 0.5.

In the distal promoters, there is an inverse complement (ic) between ZNF497 and A1BG negative strand, positive direction: TGAGTGG at 3449 for an occurrence of 0.25.

The random datasets had one UTR TGAGTGG at 4502 for an occurrence of 0.1.

They had one proximal promoter D-box consensus sequence: TGAGTGG at 4148 in the arbitrary positive direction for an occurrence of 0.05.

The distal promoters had two consensus sequence ics: CCACTCA at 1766 and CCACTCA at 1365 for an occurrence of 0.1.

Comparing the two results, the occurrences are higher for the real UTR consensus sequences and the distal promoter consensus sequences than the randoms suggesting that the reals are likely active or activable.

Destruction box

"The ordered progression through the cell cycle depends on regulating the abundance of several proteins through ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Degradation is precisely timed and specific. One key component of the degradation system, the anaphase promoting complex (APC), is a ubiquitin protein ligase. It is activated both during mitosis and late in mitosis/G1, by the WD repeat proteins Cdc20 and Cdh1, respectively. These activators target distinct sets of substrates. Cdc20–APC requires a well-defined destruction box (D box), [...]."[6]

"The budding yeast homolog of Cdc20 contains two destruction boxes [...], but the vertebrate homologs lack any motif similar to the R-L-N of the D box."[6]

The destruction box R-L-N[6] is CGN-(C/T)TN-AAN, but for leucine it's TT(A/G) or CTN. This can be searched for using CGN(C/T)TNAAN.

Destruction box analysis and results

The destruction box R-L-N[6] is CGN-(C/T)TN-AAN, but for leucine it's TT(A/G) or CTN.

Comparison:

The occurrences of real Dest UTRs, proximals are greater than the randoms, negative distals overlap the high end randoms, positive distals are lower than the randoms. This suggests that the real Dests are likely active or activable.

KEN box

The KEN box, lysine glutamate asparagine or AA(A/G)GA(A/G)AA(C/T), serves as a general targeting signal for Cdh1–APC.[6]

"Selection of APC/C targets is controlled through recognition of short destruction motifs, predominantly the D box and KEN box."[7]

"The classical APC/C degron is the destruction box or D box, a nine-residue motif (RxxLxxI/VxN), first characterized in B-type cyclins as being sufficient for APC/C-mediated ubiquitylation [...], common to most, but not all APC/C substrates. Another APC/C degron, the KEN motif (KENxxxN/D), is often present in APC/C substrates usually in addition to the D box [...]."[7]
