Abstract:
:The recent publication of the Caenorhabditis elegans cisRED database has provided an extensive catalog of upstream elements that are conserved between nematode genomes. We have performed a secondary analysis to determine which subsequences of the cisRED motifs are found in multiple locations throughout the C. elegans genome. We used the word-counting motif discovery algorithm DME to form the motifs into groups based on sequence similarity. We then examined the genes associated with each motif group using DAVID and Ontologizer to determine which groups are associated with genes that also have significant functional associations in the Gene Ontology and other gene annotation sources. Of the 3265 motif groups formed, 612 (19%) had significant functional associations with respect to GO terms. Eight of the first 20 motif groups based on frequent dodecamers among the cisRED motif sequences were specifically associated with ribosomal protein genes; two of these were similar to mouse EBP-45, rat HNF3-family and Drosophila Zeste transcription factor binding sites. Additionally, seven motif groups were extensions of the canonical C. elegans trans-splice acceptor site. One motif group was tested for regulatory function in a series of green fluorescent protein expression experiments and was shown to be involved in pharyngeal expression.
