A Network of HMG-box Transcription Factors Regulates Sexual Cycle in the Fungus Podospora anserina
Figure 7
Conserved sequences found in the promoter region of HMG-box genes and mating-type target genes.
(A) Conserved sequences from a number of HMG-box genes and mating-type target genes identified using MEME program [78]. Position −1 is the first nucleotide upstream of the translation initiation codon. (B) Weblogo of the consensus sequence generated by MEME (assembled from sequences listed in A). (C) The P. anserina consensus sequence aligned with the binding site of HMG-box proteins: MATa-1 (N. crassa) [109], SpSte11 (S. pombe) [30], Prf2 (U. maydis) [38], [39] and Mat2 (C. neoformans) [41].
