In lower case characters are the mismatches relative to the consensus p53 response element (RE).
The bold characters are half-site p53REs without mismatches relative to the consensus p53 RE.
The italic lower case characters correspond to the spacer sequence between p53 decamers. A lack of spacer between decamer sequences is denoted by “-”.
∧ Indicates that the predicted RE contains a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). SNPs are indicated in bold and underline characters.
TLR5 SNP rs2192617 C/T
TLR6 SNP rs167251 G/A
TLR8 SNP rs3761624 A/G
*Number of noncanonical p53 REs is indicated inside the parenthesis.
