The consensus motifs for upstream promoter elements for TATA-box, Initiator, TCT-element, TFIIB recognition element upstream (BREu), TFIIB recognition element downstream (BREd), XCPE1 (X core promoter element 1), and Drosophila DNA replication-related element (DRE) are TATAWAWR, BBCABW, YYCTTTYY, SSRCGCC, RTDKKKK, DSGYGGRASM, and WATCGATW, respectively. The consensus motifs for downstream promoter elements DPE and Pause Button are RGWCGTG and KCGRWCG, respectively.
