V YOR363C PIP2 0     See Oaf1-Pip2-dimer
V YNL103W MET4 0     My understanding is that Met4 is a modifier of the specificity of other proteins. SGD states that it "requires different combinations of the auxiliary factors Cbf1p, Met28p, Met31p and Met32p". ChIP-chip motifs 1023 and 1024 I believe are cofactor motifs; they are E-boxes. ChIP-chip motif 689 is different and matches Met28 and Met32 motifs. (CTGTGG core). Met28 is a bZIP protein, and Met32 is a C2H2. MITOMI motif for Met32 is TGTGG. So this is the Met32 motif. I do not believe that any of the Met4 motifs is correct. Need to obtain motifs for complexes.
V YKR064W OAF3 0     I do not see how either of these motifs could possibly be a Gal4-class binding motif. And, there is no correspondence to any of the data, even the ChIP-chip data from which it is derived.
V YJL206C   0     Seven motifs from ChIP-chip, but none of them corresponds well to ChIP-chip data, and none of them resembles a GAL4 motif. 1169 has a CGG in the middle, but too much flanking information to be credible without further independent support.
V YIR017C MET28 0     Like MET4, component of a complex. SGD: "Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcriptional activator in the Cbf1p-Met4p-Met28p complex".."Both Met4p and Met28p bind to DNA only in the presence of Cbf1p, and the presence of Cbf1p and Met4p stimulates the binding of Met28p to DNA (1, 2).". ChIP-chip motif 703 (CTGTGG) is clearly the Met31/32 motif. The other ChIP-chip motif is essentially poly-A, and scores poorly. Hence, neither of these motifs represents the intrinsic sequence specificity of MET28. Need in vitro data for complexes.
V YGR288W MAL13 0     None of the ChIP-chip motifs correspond wekk to the data they come from and/or resemble a GAL4 motif.
V YBR297W MAL33 0     None of the ChIP-chip motifs correspond wekk to the data they come from and/or resemble a GAL4 motif.
V MBP1-SWI6-dimer MBP1-SWI6-dimer 0     Redundant with MBP1
V MATA1   0     Need to study literature more carefully and consult experts.but at first glance none of these motifs seems right
V YER045C ACA1 8 Medium   Literature motif 8 is supported by experimental investigation, and resembles a bZIP site, but has no other support; motif was not obtained objectively. Can bind as heterodimer. The highest-scoring motif (from ChIP, 1457) has low information content - I'm concerned it is learning other features of bound promoters.
V YKL185W ASH1 28 Medium   The literature motif may not represent the full binding activity of the protein. Also, it is not supported by ChIP-chip. ChIP-chip identifies Mcm1-like motifs. But, it does score highly in both ChIP-chip and expression. The only higher-scoring motif has almost no information content.
V YMR280C CAT8 33 Medium   Near-classic dimeric GAL4 motif. Literature-based. Not clear this is an optimal site but it does bind. Seems to hit the right GO category.
V YGL166W CUP2 48 Medium   Three motifs account for three possible spacings in the literature motif; it is not clear that this is the optimal site, however
V YIR023W DAL81 53 Low   None of the motifs agree with each other. The literature motif characterization was indirect; hence low confidence that this is the true motif. The ChIP-chip motifs score higher on ChIP data but that's circular.
V YGL254W FZF1 69 Low   Literature motif is the only one that appears credible. PBM motif I believe is a known artifact. Literature motif gets low confidence however as it is based on a single known binding sequence.
V YFL031W HAC1 94 Medium   1788 is the overall winner. But, literature motif 94 also scores well in ChIP-chip, despite being somewhat different. Possible difference in heterodimerazation partners, or proteolytic fragment? Retain both.
V YDR034C LYS14 133 High   PBM motifs are virtually identical and appear monomeric; literature motif is dimeric. Include both. Choose PBM motif 865 as it appears to have more robust CGG.
V MAL63   136 Medium   This is an unconventional dimeric GAL4-class motif
V YLR266C PDR8 244 Medium   Both motifs are equally credible but have very limited support. Literature motif is related to that of YRR1 literature motif. PBM motif, however, is a classic GAL4 monomer. This is the literature motif.
V YNL216W RAP1 254 High   Most motifs look similar. ChIP-chip motif 254 has highest correspondence to expression data.
V YGR044C RME1 273 Low   Motif 273 shows similarity to RME response elements (RREs), GTACC(T/A)ACAAAA (in fact it is derived from them). The fact that RME has three C2H2 zinc fingers and also requires an additional C-terminal region for binding in vitro, together with its relatively large footprint, are consistent with such a large binding site. However, I gave this motif a "low" score as there is no systematic analysis in vivo or in vitro indicating that these are really the most preferred sites. It would be valuable to redo the in vitro and in vivo experiments under appropriate conditions.
V YML076C WAR1 325 Low   None of the motifs are convincing, but at least sequences with the literature motif have been experimentally confirmed to bind the protein (even if it is not shown that this is the optimal binding site)
V YLR403W SFP1 357 Incorrect   Likely represents Rap1 binding site.
V YOR372C NDD1 366 Incorrect   Likely represents Mcm1 binding site.
V YHR206W SKN7 380 High   Motifs are remarkably discordant considering that they all resemble each other in being G+C rich and containing a GGCC core. Possibly reflecting different modes of multimerization? Include the two that score highest on independent data: PBM motif 583, which represents a monomer, and ChIP-chip motif 380, which appears to represent a dimer.
V YDR310C SUM1 383 High   This is the motif for the FL SUM1; scores highest on ChIP-chip and resembles the canonical literature motif; also has some relationship to deletion expression data
V YPL202C AFT2 389 High   All motifs look similar. ChIP-chip motif 389 scores high on ChIP-chip data and also best on expression data.
V YKL043W PHD1 393 High   High-scoring motifs are all similar, with characteristic APSES GC core and palindromic. PBM motifs score highest on ChIP-seq data, while ChIP-chip motif 393 (which contains flanking G/C residues) scores highest on expression data. Retain both - possibly, the rest of the protein contributes to binding flanking residues. This is the ChIP motif that scores highest on expression data.
V YOR344C TYE7 397 High   All studies except one get canonical HLH motif. 795 (PBM) is nearly tied for best ChIP-chip score with the best ChIP-chip motif. Still, ChIP motif 397 scores higher, and looks identical, but with fewer flanking empty positions.
V YHR084W STE12 400 High   All motifs but one resemble the canonical literature site. Motif 400 is derived from ChIP-chip data (on which it scores highest) but also scores highest on expression data.
V YKR099W BAS1 402 High   Virtually all motifs are similar, with GAGTCA core. ChIP motif 402 has highest correspondence to both ChIP-chip and expression data.
V YMR016C SOK2 404 High   ChIP-chip motif 404 has highest correspondence to both ChIP-chip and expression data - and strongly resembles PBM motif
V YPR104C FHL1 406 Incorrect   Likely represents Rap1 binding site.
V YOR028C CIN5 409 High   Most motifs match the classic YAP motif. This is the best in vivo motif (highest match to ChIP-chip).
V YGL073W HSF1 411 Medium   Four types of motifs contain TTC monomeric core and all score highly on both ChIP and expression. Appear to represent different monomeric/multimeric binding configurations. This is the spaced direct repeat dimeric site. From ChIP.
V YPL089C RLM1 419 Medium   Motif 419 has a MADS-like appearance, and scores very highly in ChIP-chip data, despite being derived from the literature. Not much correspondence to expression however, hence Medium confidence. ChIP-chip motif 910 does slightly better on expression but to me is not a credible MADS box binding site.
V YGL073W HSF1 476 Medium   Four types of motifs contain TTC monomeric core and all score highly on both ChIP and expression. Appear to represent different monomeric/multimeric binding configurations. This is the monomeric site. From PBM.
V YDR310C SUM1 478 High   This is the motif for the SUM1 AT_hook; scores highest in deletion expression data
V YGL013C PDR1 485 High   PBM motif 485 looks like a traditional literature motif and has highest correspondence to ChIP and expression data. Dimeric GAL4 motif.
V YDL170W UGA3 486 Medium   Appears to be a monomeric GAL4-class motif. Derived from PBM data, scores highly in ChIP-chip data, but not as high as the dimeric site derived from the ChIP-chip data.
V YBR267W REI1 489 High   PBM motif looks like a yeast C2H2 motif (row of C's); highly significant relationship to ChIP-chip data
V YGL096W TOS8 494 High   No corroborating data on this TF, and only one PBM motif known and one ChIP motif. But, it resembles TGTCA, which was also obtained for paralog Cup9 by multiple approaches (GTGNCA), as well as PBM results for the Meis/Mrg/Pknox/Tgif family, which are the closest mammalian homologs. The ChIP motif (1902) does not resemble a homeodomain binding sequence, and scores lower on expression data.
V YLR176C RFX1 496 Medium   Curious case - virtually all motifs are similar in appearance, with a common TGGCAAC core. They range from what appear to be monomers to full dimers, with multiple partial forms. However, none of them scores highly on both ChIP-chip and expression data. Select two representatives: one that scores well on ChIP-chip, and one that scores well on expression. This is the one that scores most highly on expression (close 2nd on deletion and 1st on overexpression). It is the only purely monomeric motif. Give medium confidence, since according to the literature this protein should bind as a dimer.
V YML027W YOX1 498 High   Two PBM studies and Pramila et al. (PMID 12464633) agree on classic homeodomain TAATTA motif. All three correlate with expression change and OE. Motif 453 is not a direct measurement so choose PBM motif that is the same length as the typical homeodomain footprint - 498 also correlates best with OE data; expression scores are skewed low by the large number of cell-cycle measurements.
V YOR113W AZF1 499 High   PBM motif 499 scores as well as the ChIP-chip motifs, but without the circularity. No significant data except ChIP-chip, however.
V YCR106W RDS1 506 High   All motifs look similar. PBM motif 506 has a higher score on ChIP-chip than any of the ChIP-chip derived motifs.
V YPL230W USV1 509 High   Two PBM studies essentially agree on classical C2H2 GGGG-containing motif. Chose 509 because it scores much higher on both ChIP and expression data.
V YER184C   512 Medium   One motif from PBMs is a monomeric GAL4-like motif and the other is dimeric. Medium confidence because there is little independent support, and both contain the CCGG core that I believe may be an artifact. However, both score significantly on ChIP-chip data. Only 512 is significant on expression data.
V YNL027W CRZ1 516 High   PBM motif 516 scores highest on ChIP and expression; resembles classic literature motifs
V YKL062W MSN4 518 High   PBM motif 518 resembles both the classical MSN motif and the PBM motif, and scores highest on both expression and ChIP-chip.
V YMR168C CEP3 524 High   Two PBM motifs agree. Went with 524 because it appears neater. No other supporting data for any of them.
V YLL054C   526 Medium   Three motifs available, from PBMs; two dimeric GAL4-like motifs but with different spacings and one monomeric. No backup data but looks tidy. Keep all three.
V YLR266C PDR8 528 Medium   Both motifs are equally credible but have very limited support. Literature motif is related to that of YRR1 literature motif. PBM motif, however, is a classic GAL4 monomer. This is the PBM motif.
V YMR182C RGM1 531 High   PBM motif 531 looks like a C2H2 motif (row of G's), and scores well on both ChIP-chip and deletion expression data.
V YER130C COM2 534 High   PBM motif 534 has the highest correspondence to expression data. Not much else supporting any of the motifs, although the two PBM motifs look about the same. Also look like typical yeast C2H2 motifs.
V YER040W GLN3 539 High   Most motifs are classic GATA or GATAAG. PBM motif 539 scores highest on ChIP.
V YDR213W UPC2 544 High   The SRE is bound by UPC2 and the "canonical" sequence is TCGTATA. However, the more degenerate version obtained by PBM (motif 544) scores better in both expression analysis and OE experiments. Newer motif 2109 scores better on ChIP-chip, but lower on expression, and the SRE is well-characterized....I think this one deserves further experimental analysis.
V YER169W RPH1 547 High   About half of the motifs look similar to each other, with GGGG core typical of many yeast C2H2 proteins. PBM motif 547 has meaningful scores on both ChIP-chip and mutant expression data. I'm somewhat concerned that motif 279 lacks two A residues captured by both PBM experiments.
V YBR150C TBS1 552 High   Two motifs from PBMs are nearly identical GAL4-class motifs with defined spacing and orientation. Motif 552 has slightly higher scores. Two motifs from BEEML analysis of PBM data give monomeric motif - also give this high confidence.
V YDR520C URC2 553 High   This is a monomeric GAL4-class motif. Two PBM studies essentially agree, and have some relationship to ChIP-chip data. No other informative data.
V YER068W MOT2 556 Medium   PBM motif 556 has high correspondence to ChIP-chip data. However, also resembles TATA element, and could also be a structural motif. RRMs normally bind single-stranded RNA or DNA. Give medium confidence.
V YCR096C HMRA2 558 Medium   Should be similar to MATALPHA2. The one PBM motif is indeed related to the MITOMI motif for MATALPHA2.
V YDL048C STP4 559 Medium   STP3 and 4 have very similar DNA-binding domains. However, they are not similar to those of STP1 and 2; the next most closely related are SWI5 and ACE2, with major differences in the recognition alpha helices. All of the STP4 motifs are different from each other and none have any supporting data. There is only one motif for STP3 (568) from PBM and it matches the STP4 motif from the same study (559) which is the basis for choosing these two motifs.
V YDR096W GIS1 562 High   All motifs similar; PBM motif 562 has highest correspondence to deletion expression data and overexpression data
V YIR013C GAT4 565 High   Two PBM motifs look similar, also similar to a subset of other GATAs. 565 scores higher on expression and OE data.
V YLR375W STP3 568 Medium   STP3 and 4 have very similar DNA-binding domains. However, they are not similar to those of STP1 and 2; the next most closely related are SWI5 and ACE2, with major differences in the recognition alpha helices. All of the STP4 motifs are different from each other and none have any supporting data. There is only one motif for STP3 (568) from PBM and it matches the STP4 motif from the same study (559) which is the basis for choosing these two motifs.
V YDR146C SWI5 569 High   PBM, Chip-chip, and conservation all yield similar motifs. ChIP-chip scores highest in ChIP-chip but that is circular. Choose PBM motif 569 which is nearly identical.
V YCR065W HCM1 570 High   PBM and SAAB/EMSA motifs both look similar to standard FH motif. PBM motif 570 has stronger correspondence to expression data.
V YJL089W SIP4 573 Medium   PBM motif 573 is a monomeric GAL4-type motif (others appear dimeric) but it has good correspondence to ChIP-chip data. Only a few of the dimeric sites are more significant - the motif from in vivo analysis (PMID: 14685767) does not score as highly as 2067 from ChIP-chip data, but they look very similar. This is 573, the presumed monomeric site
V YJR127C RSF2 575 High   No supporting data, but the PBM motif 575 looks like a typical yeast C2H2 motif (Adr1, which has similar zinc fingers, Mig1, etc).
V YDR216W ADR1 576 High   PBM motif 576 has significant correspondence to both ChIP-chip and highest to expression data. And has a classic yeast C2H2 look.
V YPL021W ECM23 578 High   PBM motif 578 strongly resembles that from other yeast GATA-class TFs
V YDR303C RSC3 580 High   PBM motif 580 has best correspondence to expression data - the only significant independent criterion - considering that the correlations are all in the same orientation (they are not for 2165). All motifs look similar. Propose that longer motifs could be due to multiple binding sites in the same sequence.
V YHR206W SKN7 583 High   Motifs are remarkably discordant considering that they all resemble each other in being G+C rich and containing a GGCC core. Possibly reflecting different modes of multimerization? Include the two that score highest on independent data: PBM motif 583, which represents a monomer, and ChIP-chip motif 380, which appears to represent a dimer.
V YER111C SWI4 584 High   Motif is well-characterized and most published motifs match the expected one. PBM motif (584) scores highly (although not highest) in Chip-chip data. It is, however, non-circular, and specifically captures "DNA metabolic process" in GO analysis.
V YIL036W CST6 585 High   PBM motif 585 correlates with expression data (deletion and overexpression). ChIP motif 1466 has higher ChIP score but is lower on expression.
V YPR022C   588 High   Only one motif available, from PBMs; classical yeast C2H2 motif, and has some relationship to ChIP-chip data.
V YDR259C YAP6 599 High   PBM and ChIP-chip can derive basically the same motif, which is a classical YAP motif. They score similarly on all criteria. The ChIP-chip motif (599) has fewer low-information flanking bases.
V YHL027W RIM101 600 High   ChIP-chip motif 600 is almost identical to PBM motif 513, but scores slightly higher on expression data. Three of six motifs are very similar.
V YPR199C ARR1 603 Medium   Only motif 603 has significant scores with ChIP-chip and expression data; looks somewhat like a YAP motif
V YOR140W SFL1 605 Medium   None of the motifs are highly related to each other. But, most share a GAAG core and are otherwise A-rich. The PBM motif 839 in particular is compatible with the putative binding sites that are mutated in PMID 17594096, and it scores well on ChIP-chip. Other motifs may represent different multimerization configurations. ChIP-chip motif 605 also scores well on ChIP-chip data, which is circular, but I will retain it for completeness.
V YGL073W HSF1 615 Medium   Four types of motifs contain TTC monomeric core and all score highly on both ChIP and expression. Appear to represent different monomeric/multimeric binding configurations. This is the trimeric site. From ChIP.
V YLR403W SFP1 621 Incorrect   Likely represents Rap1 binding site.
V YPR104C FHL1 629 Incorrect   Likely represents Rap1 binding site.
V YKL185W ASH1 648 Incorrect   Likely represents Mcm1 binding site.
V YDL170W UGA3 651 High   Appears to be a dimeric GAL4-class motif. Scores highest in ChIP-chip data, but is derived from the same data. GO seems to match known function!
V YGL071W AFT1 658 High   Most motifs are similar. Also very similar to AFT2 motifs. ChIP-chip motif 658 scores highest on both ChIP-chip and expression data.
V YDR463W STP1 660 High   STP1 and 2 have very similar DNA-binding domains. However, they are not similar to those of STP3 and 4. PBM motif for STP2 (800) correlates with ChIP-chip and expression data. ChIP-chip motif for STP1 (660) most strongly resembles motif 800, and scores highly on ChIP-chip data. In addition, these motifs resemble halfmers of literature-derived binding sites.
V YHL009C YAP3 672 High   ChIP-chip yields a classic 7-mer Yap motif that scores well on ChIP and significantly on expression. Could be a heterodimer. Chose 672 over 1463 because it has a higher score on expression data, which is independent.
V YGL162W SUT1 673 Medium   Four motifs, all derived from ChIP-chip, contain CGG, but are unusual, with degeneracy and a core of CGGGG. Correlate somewhat with both OE and deletion data, however.
V YNL314W DAL82 690 High   PBM and ChIP-chip motifs agree; select ChIP-chip as it scores higher on ChIP-chip although the extra A's on the side could be either due to the FL protein or some other in vivo factor.
V YGL181W GTS1 694 Low   None of the three motifs resembles an AT-hook binding site. Only one correlates with the ChIP-chip data, but that's circular. Low confidence.
V YOR358W HAP5 695 High   Subunit of the heme-activated, glucose-repressed Hap2/3/4/5 CCAAT-binding complex - there should be a single motif for all four proteins, containing CCAAT. ChIP-chip motif 695 resembles CCAATCA, and scores highly on ChIP-chip, OE, and deletion expression data.
V YKL109W HAP4 695 High   Subunit of the heme-activated, glucose-repressed Hap2/3/4/5 CCAAT-binding complex - there should be a single motif for all four proteins, containing CCAAT. ChIP-chip motif 695 resembles CCAATCA, and scores highly on ChIP-chip, OE, and deletion expression data.
V YGL237C HAP2 695 High   Subunit of the heme-activated, glucose-repressed Hap2/3/4/5 CCAAT-binding complex - there should be a single motif for all four proteins, containing CCAAT. ChIP-chip motif 695 resembles CCAATCA, and scores highly on ChIP-chip, OE, and deletion expression data.
V YBL021C HAP3 695 High   Subunit of the heme-activated, glucose-repressed Hap2/3/4/5 CCAAT-binding complex - there should be a single motif for all four proteins, containing CCAAT. ChIP-chip motif 695 resembles CCAATCA, and scores highly on ChIP-chip, OE, and deletion expression data.
V YDR026C   696 High   Three ChIP-chip motifs are virtually identical in appearance; resemble Reb1 motifs; high correspondence to ChIP-chip data
V YMR053C STB2 710 Incorrect   Likely represents Reb1 binding site.
V YOL108C INO4 713 High   Ino2/4 binds as a heterodimer, so there should just be one motif for the two proteins. All motifs appear similar but none of them is derived from in vitro data. Nonetheless most motifs match a classic E-box with some preference for flanking bases. Motif 713 is derived from ChIP-chip; it is not the highest-scoring ChIP-chip motif but it is highest for OE and deletion expression.
V YDR123C INO2 713 High   Ino2/4 binds as a heterodimer, so there should just be one motif for the two proteins. All motifs appear similar but none of them is derived from in vitro data. Nonetheless most motifs match a classic E-box with some preference for flanking bases. Motif 713 is derived from ChIP-chip; it is not the highest-scoring ChIP-chip motif but it is highest for OE and deletion expression.
