The lack of all essential cysteines in both copies of the CXXC motifs suggest that these MoeZs probably do not function like MSAE proteins.
To determine whether CSEs are found within regions encoding conserved protein motifs, we examined the relationship of CSE locations and the protein-domain of a large gene family (the ETS-domain family) found by our GeneFamilyScan software (GFScan [ 10], Table 2).
Sequence comparison reveals that the three structural motifs present in Arabidopsis COP1, including the RING finger, the coiled coil and the WD40 domains, exist in COP1 proteins from all other species.
These data indicate that the v-crk SH2 domain interacts with the C-terminal YDXP motifs, and as suggested by Birge et al, v-crk may be able to protect them from dephosphorylation and/or induces their phosphorylation [ 12 ] . They also suggest that the YQXP motifs may be involved in binding to other intracellular signaling molecules.
Note that the initiator and TATA box are no longer identified, owing to the background model and the extended sequences, but that some of the other core motifs of Table 2are still highly statistically significant.
