The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

19.1K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

11.2K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

5.2K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

12.0K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Enhancer-promoter interactions are vital for regulating target genes in the human genome.
  • While genome-wide mapping has identified potential interactions, the sufficiency of sequence-based features for prediction remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computational method (PEP) for predicting enhancer-promoter interactions using only sequence-based features.
  • To demonstrate that sequence information alone is sufficient for reliable genome-wide prediction of enhancer-promoter interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed PEP, a computational method comprising two modules (PEP-Motif and PEP-Word) for feature extraction.
  • PEP utilizes sequence-based features to predict enhancer-promoter interactions given the locations of enhancers and promoters.
  • Evaluated PEP's performance across six different cell types.

Main Results:

  • PEP effectively predicts enhancer-promoter interactions using only sequence-based features.
  • The method's performance is comparable to state-of-the-art methods that incorporate functional genomic signals.
  • Demonstrated the reliability of sequence-based features for genome-wide enhancer-promoter interaction prediction.

Conclusions:

  • Sequence-based features alone are sufficient for reliably predicting enhancer-promoter interactions genome-wide.
  • The PEP method provides a valuable tool for identifying gene regulatory elements.
  • This work may facilitate the discovery of sequence determinants governing long-range gene regulation.
