Figure 1. Comparison of the 5′-flanking UTR and putative promoter sequence of myog genes from Senegalese sole and other fish sequences. SOX6, TAF, MEF3, MEF2, TATA binding sites and the two proximal E-boxes are indicated. The sequence and localization the E-boxes, MEF2, MEF3 and TATA are particularly conserved among myog promoters from all five fish species. The predicted transcription starting site is indicated (arrow). The location of the 22 CpG sites is indicated by bold, underlined Cs. GenBank accession numbers for the sequences are: KC404969 (Solea senegalensis), EF462192 (Sparus aurata), EF144128 (Paralichthys olivaceus) and AY124482 (Danio rerio). The Ensembl accession number for Gasterosteus aculeatus is ENSGACG00000000349.
