Using the motif, a Blast was conducted in the TAIR website, the resultant sequences were then aligned and mismatches were discarded.
The high-scoring segment pairs (HSPs) detected in these searches aligned the highly conserved region of the RDRPs between the predicted strands 18 and 20, including the DbDGD motif, with the portion of the DDRP β' subunit sequence, which contains the metal-chelating active site, with a similar conserved motif, DxDGD.
In any case, the fact that ERβ binds weakly or not at all to the three N-CoR ID motifs that mediate interactions with TRs and RARs and, instead, binds in an agonist-dependent fashion to a region in the C-terminus of N-CoR that has not previously been implicated in NR interactions indicates that ERβ recognizes a novel protein sequence motif within N-CoR.
We generally used a motif length of 11 bp and allowed the algorithm to vary this by +-2 if the data warranted, and took a prior copy number of 7 when fitting 1-2 kb of data (again the algorithm will adjust this number).
