Transcription factor-DNA binding: beyond binding site motifs.
Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to cis-regulatory elements in promoter and enhancer DNA. While studies of TF-DNA binding have focused on TFs' intrinsic preferences for primary nucleotide sequence motifs, recent studies have elucidated additional layers of complexity that modulate TF-DNA binding. In this review, we discuss technological developme...
متن کاملComprehensive Human Transcription Factor Binding Site Map for Combinatory Binding Motifs Discovery
To know the map between transcription factors (TFs) and their binding sites is essential to reverse engineer the regulation process. Only about 10%-20% of the transcription factor binding motifs (TFBMs) have been reported. This lack of data hinders understanding gene regulation. To address this drawback, we propose a computational method that exploits never used TF properties to discover the mi...
متن کاملBayesian Clustering of Transcription Factor Binding Motifs
Genes are often regulated in living cells by proteins called transcription factors (TFs) that bind directly to short segments of DNA in close proximity to specific genes. These binding sites have a conserved nucleotide appearance, which is called a motif. Several recent studies of transcriptional regulation require the reduction of a large collection of motifs into clusters based on the similar...
متن کاملTranscription Factor Binding Site Positioning in Yeast: Proximal Promoter Motifs Characterize TATA-Less Promoters
The availability of sequence specificities for a substantial fraction of yeast's transcription factors and comparative genomic algorithms for binding site prediction has made it possible to comprehensively annotate transcription factor binding sites genome-wide. Here we use such a genome-wide annotation for comprehensively studying promoter architecture in yeast, focusing on the distribution of...
متن کاملIdentification of Transcription Factor Binding Site Motifs on DNA by Means of Statistical Physics
The problem of identifying binding sites for transcription factors as such in experimentally yet unaccessed or unaccessible sequence domains is an interesting task for both biologically and statistically inclined research and several methods have been proposed to solve this riddle, some of them purely information-theoretical, some others assuming a statistical mechanism within. We develop a nov...
