Copper response element gene transcriptions
"Chlamydomonas reinhardtii activates the transcription of the Cyc6 and the Cpx1 genes (encoding cytochrome c6 and coprogen oxidase) in response to copper deficiency."

# Human genes

# Gene expressions
"Mac1p-dependent adaptation to copper deficiency involves the coordinate expression of genes, CTR1, CTR3, FRE1, and FRE7, encoding assimilatory components, through copper-response elements associated with each of these genes (10., 11., 12.)."
The "Cyc6 gene contains at least two copper-response elements (CuREs) (28)."

# Interactions

# Consensus sequences
"A consensus copper-response element  TTTGC(T/G)C(A/G) (12) is a binding site for Mac1p."
"An additional EMSA result demonstrated that  AfMac1 directly binds to a copper response element in the promoter regions of the ctrA2 and ctrC genes with a defined consensus DNA motif (5-TGTGCTCA-3) (Park et al., 2017), which is strikingly similar to the Mac1-binding motif in S. cerevisiae (Jamison McDaniels et al., 1999; Keller et al., 2000), suggesting that the mechanism of Mac1-mediated copper homeostasis may be conserved across fungal species."

"A consensus copper-response element  TTTGC(T/G)C(A/G) (12) is a binding site for Mac1p."
Comparison:
The occurrences of real CuRE (Quinn)s are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real CuRE (Quinn)s are likely active or activable.

# Copper response element analyses and results
"An additional EMSA result demonstrated that  AfMac1 directly binds to a copper response element in the promoter regions of the ctrA2 and ctrC genes with a defined consensus DNA motif (5-TGTGCTCA-3) (Park et al., 2017), which is strikingly similar to the Mac1-binding motif in S. cerevisiae (Jamison McDaniels et al., 1999; Keller et al., 2000), suggesting that the mechanism of Mac1-mediated copper homeostasis may be conserved across fungal species."
The consensus sequence for the copper response element (Park 2017): TGTGCTCA, only occurs as an inverse complement TGAGCACA at 3740 on the negative strand in the positive direction in the distal promoter closer to A1BG than ZNF497. This inverse complement has an occurrence of 0.5.
The randoms also have only one occurrence, an inverse complement TGAGCACA at 2259 in the arbitrary positive direction. This inverse complement had an occurrence of 0.1. The difference in occurrences between real and random suggests that the real TGAGCACA at 3740 is likely active or activable.
Comparison:
The occurrences of real CuREPs are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real CuREPs are likely active or activable.
