Combinatorial TFBS in the A.thaliana genome annotated in the AthaMap database
| Combinatorial element | Distance between sites (bp) | Factor binding sites employeda | Number of elements annotated |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAV | 3–20 | RAV1[1]/RAV1[2] | 28 535 |
| bZIP/bZIP | 10–15 | TGA1a/TGA1a | 1037 |
| bZIP/DOF | 3–40 | TGA1a/DOF2 | 84 389 |
| MYC/MYB | 3–40 | TGA1a/all MYB | 38 065 |
| MADS/MADS | 10–100 | All MADS/all MADS | 31 133 |
| Total number of combinatorial elements | 183 159 | ||
aOwing to the palindromic nature of the TGA1a and MADS box matrices, TFBSs frequently occur in sense and antisense at the same position. This leads to redundant combinatorial elements for which only one was annotated in the database and is displayed.
