Xenobiotic response element gene transcriptions
Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Henry A. Hoff
The classical recognition motif of the AhR/ARNT complex, referred to as either the AhR-, dioxin- or xenobiotic- responsive element (AHRE, DRE or XRE), contains the core sequence 5'-GCGTG-3'.[1]
The AhR/ARNT heterodimer directly binds the AHRE/DRE/XRE core sequence in an asymmetric manner such that ARNT binds to 5'-GTG-3' and AhR binding 5'-TC/TGC-3'.[2][3][4] Recent research suggests that a second type of element termed AHRE-II, 5'-CATG(N6)C[T/A]TG-3', is capable of indirectly acting with the AhR/ARNT complex.[5][6]
Human genes
Consensus sequences
The classical recognition motif of the AhR/ARNT complex, referred to as either the AhR-, dioxin- or xenobiotic- responsive element (AHRE, DRE or XRE) has the consensus sequence 5'-(T/G)NGCGTG(A/C)(G/C)A-3'[7][8] in the promoter region of AhR responsive genes.
Samplings
Copying the consensus of the AhR/ARNT complex: 3'-(T/G)NGCGTG(A/C)(G/C)A-5' and putting the sequence in "⌘F" finds no locations for this sequence in any A1BG direction as can be found by the computer programs.
