The target sequences and the regulated genes can be listed for each TF, which can be used as benchmark for TFBS recognition tools or as training sets for new transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) recognition algorithms. [12] The TF classification enables to analyze such data sets with regard to the properties of the DNA-binding domains. [13]
The DNA sequence that a transcription factor binds to is called a transcription factor-binding site or response element. [62] Transcription factors interact with their binding sites using a combination of electrostatic (of which hydrogen bonds are a special case) and Van der Waals forces. Due to the nature of these chemical interactions, most ...

Nine-amino-acid transactivation domain (9aaTAD) defines a domain common to a large superfamily of eukaryotic transcription factors represented by Gal4, Oaf1, Leu3, Rtg3, Pho4, Gln3, Gcn4 in yeast, and by p53, NFAT, NF-κB and VP16 in mammals. The definition largely overlaps with an "acidic" family definition. A 9aaTAD prediction tool is available.
The transcription factors do this in two ways. Firstly, they can bind the RNA polymerase responsible for transcription, either directly or through other mediator proteins; this locates the polymerase at the promoter and allows it to begin transcription. [19] Alternatively, transcription factors can bind enzymes that modify the histones at the ...
GeneProf database and analysis tool: GeneProf is a freely accessible, easy-to-use analysis environment for ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data and comes with a large database of ready-analysed public experiments, e.g. for transcription factor binding and histone modifications.
Gene prediction is one of the key steps in genome annotation, following sequence assembly, the filtering of non-coding regions and repeat masking. [3] Gene prediction is closely related to the so-called 'target search problem' investigating how DNA-binding proteins (transcription factors) locate specific binding sites within the genome.
