DRE_motif

ID: SO_0001156

Class

A sequence element characteristic of some RNA polymerase II promoters, usually located between -10 and -60 relative to the TSS. Consensus sequence is WATCGATW.

This consensus sequence was identified computationally using the MEME algorithm within core promoter sequences from -60 to +40, with an E value of 1.7e-183. Tends to co-occur with Motif 7. Tends to not occur with DPE motif (SO:0000015) or motif 10.
