"Upstream Binding Factor (UBF) is important for activation of ribosomal RNA transcription and belongs to a family of proteins containing nucleic acid binding domains, termed HMG-boxes, with similarity to High Mobility Group (HMG) chromosomal proteins."

Chromosomal proteins

"Most HMG box proteins contain two or more HMG boxes and appear to bind DNA in a relatively sequence-aspecific manner (5, 13, 15, 16 and references therein). [...] they all appear to bind to the minor groove of the A/T A/T C A A A G-motif (10, 14, 18-20)."

"Previous studies in lymphocytes have described two DNA-binding HMG box proteins, TCF-1 and LEF-1, with affinity for the A/TA/TCAAAG motif found in several T cell-specific enhancers."

"The high mobility group-1 (HMG) box was originaly identified by Tjian and co-workers in the transcription factor UBF as a region of homology to HMG-1 proteins (Jantzen et al., 1990). UBF reportedly contained four such regions of -80 amino acids; one of these boxes was shown to mediate DNA binding."

"Interestingly, the sequence-specific HMG boxes characterized to date display high afinity to the A/TA/TCAAAG motif despite a low level of amino acid homology (typically <25% identity)."

"Human LEF-1 was originally identified as a T cell-specific protein binding to the TTCAAAG motif in the TCR-α enhancer (Waterman et al., 1991)."

"As analysed by gel retardation, the Sox-4 HMG box indeed bound to the AACAAAG motif (probe MWε-1; Figure 2B, lane 1). As described for other HMG boxes, Sox-4 interacted with DNA bases within the minor groove: substitution of A/T pairs for I/C pairs, which leaves the surface of the minor groove intact (Star and Hawley, 1991), had no apparent effect on binding affinity (lanes 2 and 4)."

Consensus sequences

"In mammals, the Tcf/Lef family consists of four genes: Tcf‐1, Lef‐1, Tcf‐3 and Tcf‐4. All TCF/LEF proteins display several common structural features (48,49). They contain a nearly identical DNA‐binding domain, the HMG box, recognizing the consensus sequence A/T A/T CAAA."

"Both directed and random screen studies have identified a consensus recognition sequence for the HMG DBD; 5′-SCTTTGATS-3′ [...] (van de Wetering et al. 1997; van Beest et al. 2000; Hallikas and Taipale 2006; Atcha et al. 2007)."

"The domain is called the “C clamp” to highlight the absolute requirement for four cysteine residues in DNA binding (Atcha et al. 2007) [...]."

"The C clamp carries specificity for a secondary, GC-rich sequence called a “Helper site” [(C/G)C(C/G)G(C/G)] that can occur with variable spacing and orientation relative to the Wnt response element (Atcha et al. 2007; Chang et al. 2008)."

High mobility group proteins

Gene ID: 6932 is TCF7 transcription factor 7 on 5q31.1: "This gene encodes a member of the T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor family of high mobility group (HMG) box transcriptional activators. This gene is expressed predominantly in T-cells and plays a critical role in natural killer cell and innate lymphoid cell development. The encoded protein forms a complex with beta-catenin and activates transcription through a Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Mice with a knockout of this gene are viable and fertile, but display a block in T-lymphocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Naturally-occurring isoforms lacking the N-terminal beta-catenin interaction domain may act as dominant negative regulators of Wnt signaling."

Helper site analysis and results

Main article: Complex locus A1BG and ZNF497 § Helpers

"The C clamp carries specificity for a secondary, GC-rich sequence called a “Helper site” [(C/G)C(C/G)G(C/G)] that can occur with variable spacing and orientation relative to the Wnt response element (Atcha et al. 2007; Chang et al. 2008)."

Comparison:

The occurrences of real Helpers are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real Helpers are likely active or activable.

C clamp samplings

For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence AAAAAAAA (starting with SuccessablesAAA.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

1. negative strand, negative direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
2. positive strand, negative direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
3. negative strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
4. positive strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
