One phosphate starvation-response transcription factor is Pho4.

Human genes

Consensus sequences

"The [palindromic E-box motif (CACGTG)] motif is bound by the transcription factor Pho4, [and has the] class of basic helix-loop-helix DNA binding domain and core recognition sequence (Zhou and O'Shea 2011)."[1]

"Pho4 bound to virtually all E-boxes in vitro (96%) [...]. That was not the case in vivo, where only 5% were bound by Pho4, under activating conditions as determined by ChIP-seq [Zhou and O'Shea 2011]."[1]

"Pho4 possesses the intrinsic ability to bind every E-box, but in vivo is prevented from binding by chromatin unless assisted by chromatin remodelers (Svaren et al. 1994) that are targeted at promoter regions."[1]

"On one end of that spectrum, typical transcription factors like Pho4 do not appear to compete with nucleosomes and instead predominantly sample motifs that already exist in the [nucleosome-free promoter regions] NFRs generated by other factors. In vitro (PB-exo), Pho4 bound nearly every instance of an E-box motif across the yeast genome. However, in vivo, Pho4 is a low-abundance protein that is recruited to the nucleus upon phosphate starvation by other factors, to act at a few dozen genes (Komeili and O'Shea 1999; Zhou and O'Shea 2011). Since Pho4 appears unable to compete with nucleosomes, competent sites that are occluded by nucleosomes are invisible to Pho4."[1]

The Pho4 homodimer binds to DNA sequences containing the bHLH binding site 5'-CACGTG-3'.[2]

The upstream activating sequence (UAS) for Pho4p is 5'-CAC(A/G)T(T/G)-3' in the promoters of HIS4 and PHO5 regarding phosphate limitation with respect to regulation of the purine and histidine biosynthesis pathways [66].[3]

Samplings

Copying the apparent consensus sequence for the Pho (CACGTG) and putting it in "⌘F" finds none located between ZSCAN22 or one between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
