"In fact, the groE genes were greatly induced upon heat shock in the hrcA mutant which was dark-treated prior to the heat shock in order to keep the background initial level of the groE mRNA accumulation as low as possible. These results led us to find a novel regulatory sequence which is involved in a heat and/or light mediated regulation of the groESL1 operon (Kojima and Nakamoto, 2007). This DNA element (GTTCGG-NNAN-CCNNAC) is located upstream of the groE promoters. It is highly conserved among the groESL1 operons from various cyanobacterial genomes.

K-box samplings

Copying a responsive elements consensus sequence GTTCGG-NNAN-CCNNAC and putting the sequence in "⌘F" finds none between ZNF497 and A1BG or none between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.

For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence GTTCGGNNANCCNNAC (starting with SuccessablesK-box.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 GTTCGGNNANCCNNAC, 0.
  2. positive strand, negative direction, looking for GTTCGGNNANCCNNAC, 0.
  3. positive strand, positive direction, looking for GTTCGGNNANCCNNAC, 0.
  4. negative strand, positive direction, looking for GTTCGGNNANCCNNAC, 0.
  5. complement, negative strand, negative direction, looking for CAAGCCNNTNGGNNTG, 0.
  6. complement, positive strand, negative direction, looking for CAAGCCNNTNGGNNTG, 0.
  7. complement, positive strand, positive direction, looking for CAAGCCNNTNGGNNTG, 0.
  8. complement, negative strand, positive direction, looking for CAAGCCNNTNGGNNTG, 0.
  9. inverse complement, negative strand, negative direction, looking for GTNNGGNTNNCCGAAC, 0.
  10. inverse complement, positive strand, negative direction, looking for GTNNGGNTNNCCGAAC, 0.
  11. inverse complement, positive strand, positive direction, looking for GTNNGGNTNNCCGAAC, 0.
  12. inverse complement, negative strand, positive direction, looking for GTNNGGNTNNCCGAAC, 0.
  13. inverse negative strand, negative direction, looking for CANNCCNANNGGCTTG, 0.
  14. inverse positive strand, negative direction, looking for CANNCCNANNGGCTTG, 0.
  15. inverse positive strand, positive direction, looking for CANNCCNANNGGCTTG, 0.
  16. inverse negative strand, positive direction, looking for CANNCCNANNGGCTTG, 0.
