Gene Expression Divergence and Evolutionary Analysis of the Drosomycin Gene Family in Drosophila melanogaster

Figure 4

The schematic organization of the transcription factor binding sites upstream drosomycin genes in D. melanogaster. (a) General position of drosomycin genes on the 3L chromosome. (b) Organization of binding sites for putative transcription factors at the upstream region of drosomycin genes. κB: NF-κB site, GGGRAYYYYY of consensus sequence (there was no sites with perfectly matched sequence of GGGRAYYYYY. Sites with one nucleotide mismatch were given in the figure); GATA: binding site of the GATA factor, WGATAR of consensus sequence; IL-6 RE: sites for interleukin-6 response element with TKNNGNAAK of consensus sequence; ICRE: sites for interferon consensus element with GGAAANN of consensus sequence. Black boxes indicated ORFs of drosomycin genes. Arrows indicated transcription start sites (TSSs) and arrows with double heads represented double TSSs. Bolded triangle () indicated polyadenylation signal.
