Figure 12. Distribution of Promoter Motifs

23 genes from the core of the Cdc15 cluster (cdc15), the 18 genes from the Cdc18 cluster (cdc18), the 9 genes from the Eng1 cluster , plus one similarly-regulated gene (SPBC83.18c) (eng1) and 15 randomly-chosen genes (Random) had their promoters examined for 6 sequence motifs using SpikeChart. For each gene, the DNA sequence examined was the 2000 bp immediately upstream of the Start codon; the Start codon is at the right edge of the Figure, and the upstream 2000 bp extends to the left. The beginning of the next upstream open reading frame is indicated by a triangle; for instance, for the pof3 gene (Cdc18 cluster), the next open reading frame begins about 700 bp upstream of the pof3 Start codon. For the Cdc18 cluster gene ams2, all 2000 bp is intergenic.
