Descriptor elementos E-Box
Scope note: Localizaciones, en el ADN, con una secuencia de consenso CANNTG. Los ELEMENTOS POTENCIADORES pueden contener múltiples copias de este elemento. Los elementos E-box desempeñan un papel regulador en el control de trascripción. Estos elementos se unen los FACTORES DE TRANSCRIPCIÓN de tipo hélice-giro-hélice básico (bHLH). Su especificidad de unión viene determinada por la combinación del heterodímero u homodímero especifico bHLH y por los nucleótidos específicos en las posiciones 3ª y 4ª de la secuencia E-box.

Scope note: DNA locations with the consensus sequence CANNTG. ENHANCER ELEMENTS may contain multiple copies of this element. E-boxes play a regulatory role in the control of transcription. They bind with basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) type TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS. Binding specificity is determined by the specific bHLH heterodimer or homodimer combination and by the specific nucleotides at the 3rd and 4th position of the E-box sequence.
