Figure 1: Putative consensus sequences for transcription factors in the region from -234 to -197 pb of EhPgp1 E. histolytica gene core promoter. Upper scheme shows the double stranded DNA from the -234 to -197 bp of the EhPgp1 promoter, relative to the transcription initiation site. Dash rectangles are the R7 repeated sequences. Brackets show the R9 repeated sequences. Down panel, the -234 to -197 bp region was searched against the TF Search database to detect potential consensus sequences. Previously and newly described proteinbinding sites are located within the R7 or R9 repeated sequences. R, indicates A or G nucleotides.
