TLDR
The TRANSFAC® database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel® on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels.Abstract:
The TRANSFAC database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels. A new web interface with different search options and integrated versions of Match and Patch provides increased functionality for TRANSFAC. The list of databases which are linked to the common GENE table of TRANSFAC and TRANSCompel has been extended by: Ensembl, UniGene, EntrezGene, HumanPSD and TRANSPRO. Standard gene names from HGNC, MGI and RGD, are included for human, mouse and rat genes, respectively. With the help of InterProScan, Pfam, SMART and PROSITE domains are assigned automatically to the protein sequences of the transcription factors. TRANSCompel contains now, in addition to the COMPEL table, a separate table for detailed information on the experimental EVIDENCE on which the composite elements are based. Finally, for TRANSFAC, in respect of data growth, in particular the gain of Drosophila transcription factor binding sites (by courtesy of the Drosophila DNase I footprint database) and of Arabidopsis factors (by courtesy of DATF, Database of Arabidopsis Transcription Factors) has to be stressed. The here described public releases, TRANSFAC 7.0 and TRANSCompel 7.0, are accessible under http://www.gene-regulation.com/pub/databases.html.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that transcriptome-based prediction can provide a useful new approach for regulome mapping and is introduced here, which allows the authors to build a database of regulatory element activities using publicly available transcriptome data.

TL;DR: The cancer-associated lipogenic enzyme, SCD, is found to be directly repressed by p53 through the CpG-island promoter, providing a mechanistic link between p53 and the ‘lipogenic phenotype’, a hallmark of cancer.

TL;DR: It is proposed that BCa risk resides in a subgroup of SNPs that functionally affects breast biology, and a shortlist of these SNPs is proposed to aid in framing hypotheses to prioritize a manageable number of likely disease-causing SNPs.

Intronic cis-regulatory modules mediate tissue-specific and microbial control of angptl4/fiaf transcription.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the microbiota might regulate host intestinal Angptl4 protein expression and peripheral fat storage by suppressing the activity of an intestine-specific transcriptional enhancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putative role of HIF transcriptional activity in melanocytes and melanoma biology.
TL;DR: A bioinformatics approach is utilized to identify putative hypoxia response elements (HREs) in a set of genes known to participate in the process of melanogenesis (includingTRPM1, SLC45A2, HRAS, C-KIT, PMEL and CRH), while some of the mechanistic links between these genes and the HIF pathway have been previously explored.
