Systematic Clustering of Transcription Start Site Landscapes
Genome-wide, high-throughput methods for transcription start site (TSS) detection have shown that most promoters have an array of neighboring TSSs where some are used more than others, forming a distribution of initiation propensities. TSS distributions (TSSDs) vary widely between promoters and earlier studies have shown that the TSSDs have biological implications in both regulation and functio...
متن کاملDNA-binding specificity of GATA family transcription factors.
GATA-binding proteins constitute a family of transcription factors that recognize a target site conforming to the consensus WGATAR (W = A or T and R = A or G). Here we have used the method of polymerase chain reaction-mediated random site selection to assess in an unbiased manner the DNA-binding specificity of GATA proteins. Contrary to our expectations, we show that GATA proteins bind a variet...
متن کاملHigh-resolution DNA-binding specificity analysis of yeast transcription factors.
Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the expression of genes through sequence-specific interactions with DNA-binding sites. However, despite recent progress in identifying in vivo TF binding sites by microarray readout of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-chip), nearly half of all known yeast TFs are of unknown DNA-binding specificities, and many additional predicted TFs remain uncharacterize...
متن کاملSpecificity landscapes of DNA binding molecules elucidate biological function.
Evaluating the specificity spectra of DNA binding molecules is a nontrivial challenge that hinders the ability to decipher gene regulatory networks or engineer molecules that act on genomes. Here we compare the DNA sequence specificities for different classes of proteins and engineered DNA binding molecules across the entire sequence space. These high-content data are visualized and interpreted...
متن کاملTranscription Factor Binding Site Analysis Identifies FOXO Transcription Factors as Regulators of the Cutaneous Wound Healing
The search for significantly overrepresented and co-occurring transcription factor binding sites in the promoter regions of the most differentially expressed genes in microarray data sets could be a powerful approach for finding key regulators of complex biological processes. To test this concept, two previously published independent data sets on wounded human epidermis were re-analyzed. The pr...
