Figure 6
Putative transcription factor binding sites within the alternative Cd36 1a and 1b promoters. Selected liver- or sex-specific putative transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) were predicted in the most conserved regions (600 bp upstream to 50 bp downstream of TSS) of rat Cd36 1a (A) and 1b (B) promoters, using the Match™ program (available from the TRANSFAC® website). All TFBS indicated in the figure have more than 90% similarity score in both core match and matrix match. The degree of sequence conservation between rat and mouse sequences within these two promoter regions is indicated in the figure. Putative TFBS in blue and bold are conserved between mouse and rat, whereas those in red, bold and italic are conserved among human, mouse and rat. See additional file for the exact positions of all putative TFBS, the corresponding scores, matrix identifiers and sequences.
