"Sequence comparison of the tomato RbcS-3A and RbcS-1 upstream regions shows three regions of strong homology, named the L [5'-AAATTAACCAAC-3'], I, and G boxes [...], contained within the fragment showing affinity for GBF. These homologies are highly significant, since these two genes diverged a long time ago (3) and do not share, in their upstream sequences, extensive regions of homology. All three boxes are found in tobacco (24) (Nicotiana tabacum) and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (25) RBCS upstream sequences [...], while soybean upstream sequences lack a bona fide L box sequence (26)."[1]

"In the tomato RbcS-3A promoter, a near-perfect box II homology (CATTTTCACT) is found just downstream of the L box [...]."[1]

Consensus sequences

"The sequence targeted by substitution P4 overlaps a sequence showing homology to the 'L' box (consensus 5'-AAATTAACCAA-3'), which is conserved in RBCS upstream sequences of both tomato and tobacco (Giuliano et al., 1988)."[2]

Hypotheses

  1. A1BG promoters do not contain an L box.

Samplings

Copying the above consensus L box sequence and putting the sequences or portions of it in "⌘F" should locate these in some nucleotide positions unless cutoff by the Carriage return, line feed of the applied "Return" after so many nucleotides, as should be found by the computer programs. If none matching the consensus sequence is found even including checking the line ends, it is unlikely that even one L box is within either A1BG promoter.
