Sequence for the putative promoter region of estrogen receptor alpha in the Eastern Bluebird. The core conserved sequences (four nucleotides) for transcription factor binding sites and CpG sites (labeled with roman numerals I–V) are indicated in colored and black boxes, respectively. Upper case letters were sequenced from Eastern Bluebird brain tissue and lower case letters are from Zebra Finches (ENSTGUG00000011249), so that the potential transcription start site could be shown. The transcription start site is indicated with an arrow. A potential translation initiation codon, ATG, is indicated with an asterisk. The sequences of the primer pairs used for bisulfite‐PCR are underlined. CREB: cAMP‐response element binding protein. ESRR: estrogen‐related receptor alpha. E2F: E2F transcription factor 7. MYT1: myelin transcription factor 1. EGRF: early growth response factor. NRSE: neuron‐restrictive silencer factor. ETSF: ETS1 factor. LHXF: LIM homeodomain transcription factor. PARF: PAR‐domain basic leucine zipper transcription factor. NF1: nuclear factor 1. TATA: TATA box. SF1: vertebrate steroidogenic factor 1. NEUR: neuroD. FOX: forkhead domain factor. HEAT, heat shock factor.
