Variable Transcription Factor Binding: A Mechanism of Evolutionary Change
This primer discusses a study from Bradley et al. in which changes in transcription factor binding between two Drosophila species are revealed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing.
متن کاملEvolutionary optimization of transcription factor binding motif detection.
All the cell types are under strict control of how their genes are transcribed into expressed transcripts by the temporally dynamic orchestration of the transcription factor binding activities. Given a set of known binding sites (BSs) of a given transcription factor (TF), computational TFBS screening technique represents a cost efficient and large scale strategy to complement the experimental o...
متن کاملrVISTA 2.0: evolutionary analysis of transcription factor binding sites
Identifying and characterizing the transcription factor binding site (TFBS) patterns of cis-regulatory elements represents a challenge, but holds promise to reveal the regulatory language the genome uses to dictate transcriptional dynamics. Several studies have demonstrated that regulatory modules are under positive selection and, therefore, are often conserved between related species. Using th...
متن کاملEvolutionary variation of the CCAAT-binding transcription factor NF-Y.
NF-Y is a CCAAT-specific transcription factor thought to be involved in the regulation of a variety of eukaryotic genes. It shows a striking sequence similarity with the yeast factor HAP2/3. In an attempt to trace back its evolutionary history, we succeeded in isolating NF-Y cDNA clones from a plant and from several species of vertebrates. The patterns of sequence conservation delineate potenti...
متن کاملEvolutionary computation for discovery of composite transcription factor binding sites
Previous research demonstrated the use of evolutionary computation for the discovery of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) in promoter regions upstream of coexpressed genes. However, it remained unclear whether or not composite TFBS elements, commonly found in higher organisms where two or more TFBSs form functional complexes, could also be identified by using this approach. Here, we pre...
