The sequence at -35 (the -35 element) has the consensus sequence TTGACA. The above consensus sequences, while conserved on average, are not found intact in most promoters. On average, only 3 to 4 of the 6 base pairs in each consensus sequence are found in any given promoter.
Fast detection of coding regions in short genome sequences: Dragon Promoter Finder Program to recognize vertebrate RNA polymerase II promoters: Vertebrates [7] EasyGene: The gene finder is based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) that is automatically estimated for a new genome.

Promoter sequences vary between bacteria and eukaryotes. In eukaryotes, the TATA box is located 25 base pairs upstream of the start site that Rpb4 /Rbp7 use to initiate transcription . In metazoans , the TATA box is located 30 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. [ 5 ]
This is because a gene with an active Inr is less dependent on a functional TATA box or additional promoters. [8] Although Inr element varies between promoters, the sequence is highly conserved between humans and yeast. [8] An analysis of 7670 transcription start sites showed that roughly 40% had an exact match to the BBCA+1BW Inr sequence.
And it is not possible to write it as a single consensus sequence e.g. ACNCCA. An alternative method of representing a consensus sequence uses a sequence logo. This is a graphical representation of the consensus sequence, in which the size of a symbol is related to the frequency that a given nucleotide (or amino acid) occurs at a certain position.
Methylated cytosines within CpG sequences often occur in groups, called CpG islands. About 59% of promoter sequences have a CpG island while only about 6% of enhancer sequences have a CpG island. [16] CpG islands constitute regulatory sequences, since if CpG islands are methylated in the promoter of a gene this can reduce or silence gene ...
It is involved in ensuring the sigma factor will only bind the promoter when it is complexed with the RNA polymerase. [7] Domains 2-4 each interact with specific promoter elements and with RNAP. Region 2.4 recognizes and binds to the promoter −10 element (called the "Pribnow box"). Region 4.2 recognizes and binds to the promoter −35 element ...
Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3] Gene expression has been commonly characterized as a measure of how much, how fast, when and where this process happens. [ 4 ]
