"In response to elevated temperatures, cells from many organisms rapidly transcribe a number of mRNAs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this protective response involves two regulatory systems: the heat shock transcription factor (Hsf1) and the Msn2 and Msn4 (Msn2/4) transcription factors."[1]

"Yeast Hsf1 is an essential protein that binds to inverted repeats of nGAAn called heat shock elements (HSEs) within the promoters of many HSPs and activates their transcription."[1]

Human genes

"In response to heat shock, mammalian HSF undergoes nuclear localization, trimerizes, and binds to HSEs."[1]

Interactions

Consensus sequences

The upstream activating sequence (UAS) for the Hsf1p is 5'-NGAAN-3' or 5'-(A/C/G/T)GAA(A/C/G/T)-3'.[2]

"To identify Hsf1 binding sites in the promoter sequences, we analyzed 1000 bp upstream of the start codon of the loci that represented verifiable [open reading frame] ORFs. Sequences were retrieved from the [Saccharomyces Genome Database] SGD (36, 37) and analyzed using a simple pattern-identification program. We defined three types of HSEs, each having three nGAAn repeats in Perfect (PFT), GAP (GAP), and STEP (STP) arrangements. The perfect HSE (PFT) consists of three contiguous, inverted repeats of the nGAAn sequence, either nGAAnnTTCnnGAAn or nTTCnnGAAnnTTCn. The GAP HSE consists of an nGAAn repeat, followed by any 5 bp and 2 inverted nGAAn repeats (nGAAn-(5-bp)-nGAAnnTTCn) and its complement (nGAAnnTTCn-(5-bp)-nTTCn), as well as the related sequences nTTCn-(5-bp)-nTTCnnGAAn and nTTC-nnGAAn-(5-bp)-nGAAn. The STP HSE has a 5-bp insert between each of the 3 nGAAn repeats, yielding the sequences nGAAn-(5-bp)-nGAAn-(5-bp)-nGAAn and nTTCn-(5-bp)-nTTCn-(5-bp)-nTTCn (30). As per previous studies (27, 30), we also allowed a single mismatch (nGAR) in one of the three nGAAn repeats for PFT or GAP."[1]

"HSEs are composed of inverted, alternating repeats of the 5-bp sequence nGAAn, where n is any nucleotide (53, 54, 55, 56). The number of pentameric units in an HSE varies, but three to six units are thought to be required for heat regulation in vivo (30, 57). Deviations from the consensus in both sequence and/or the distance between the modules can be tolerated, but to what extent is unknown. To determine if there is a correlation between the different HSEs and the affinity of Hsf1 for the motif and, thereby, the level of transcription activation, we searched in the promoters of the genes for three types of HSEs. Each type contains three nGAAn core motifs, but the variants are distinguishable from each other by the location of the core motifs within the HSE [...]."[1]

Recent "studies on the MDJ1 promoter identified a novel non-consensus HSE that consists of three separated nGAAn motifs, nTTCn-(11-bp)-nGAAn-(5-bp)-nGAAn (58). When we analyzed promoters of the genes induced by HSF for this non-consensus HSE, we found 2.9% of the genes contained this novel HSE."[1]

"Of the 90 heat-induced genes that contain HSEs in their promoters, there is an equal number of HSEs that start with nGAAn and nTTCn, but genes with a -fold change >5-fold have HSEs with the sequences nTTCnnGAAn or nTTCnnNNNnnTTC than any combination starting with nGAAn (66.7%). These findings suggest that the type of Hsf1 binding site is not as important as the topology of the HSE. Previous studies have revealed that all three DNA-binding domains of the trimeric Hsf1 bind to one face of the DNA (59), and our studies confirm that the orientation of the HSE with respect to the transcriptional start site can affect its transcriptional activity."[1]

Hypotheses

  1. A1BG has no Hsf1s in either promoter.
  2. A1BG is not transcribed by an Hsf1.
  3. No Hsf1s participates in the transcription of A1BG.

Samplings

Copying 5'-TGAAA-3' in "⌘F" yields twelve between ZSCAN22 and A1BG and 5'-CGAAC-3' one between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
