Name: Motif 8

Def:
A sequence element characteristic of some RNA polymerase II promoters, usually located between -60 and -45 relative to the TSS. Consensus sequence is MKSYGGCARCGSYSS. Tends to co-occur with motif 7. Tends to not occur with DPE motif (SO:0000015) or motif 10.

DBxref: PMID:12537576

Comment:
This consensus sequence was identified computationally using the MEME algorithm within core promoter sequences from -60 to +40, with an E value of 5.1e-29.
