# HNF3s
"Computer analysis of the 2.3 kb rat a1bg promoter fragment revealed  one HNF6/HNF3 binding site at  137/128 ."
The "GH-dependent sexually dimorphic expression conveyed by the 2.3 kb a1bg promoter is enhanced by the HNF6/HNF3 site ."
"By extending the electrophoresis run and including nuclear extract from hypophysectomized rats, devoid of GH and thereby lacking HNF6 (Lahuna et al. 1997), the two different complexes were clearly visualized. The complex with the lower mobility is most probably due to the binding of HNF3, in analogy with what was shown by Lahuna et al. for the CYP2C12 HNF6 binding site; HNF3 can bind to the site in the absence of HNF6 (Lahuna et al. 1997)."
"Forkhead (FH), also known as a "winged helix". FH is named for the Drosophila fork head protein, a transcription factor which promotes terminal rather than segmental development. This family of transcription factor domains, which bind to B-DNA as monomers, are also found in the Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) proteins, which provide tissue-specific gene regulation.

"NF1 factors have also been shown to interact directly with the basal transcription machinery as well as with other transcription factors, including Stat5 (Kim & Roeder 1994, Mukhopadhyay et al. 2001) and synergistic effects with HNF4 have been reported (Ulvila et al. 2004). In addition to the HNF6, Stat5 and NF1/Oct sites, the a1bg promoter harbours an imperfect HNF4 site at 51/39 with two mismatches compared with the HNF4 consensus site. HNF4 is clearly important for the expression of CYP2C12 (Sasaki et al. 1999), however, the 51/39 region in a1bg was not protected in the footprinting analysis and was therefore not analysed further."

# HNF6s
Both "the 2.3 kb and the 160 bp proximal parts of the a1bg promoter direct sex-specific expression of the reporter gene, and that a negative regulatory element resides in the 1 kb to 160 bp region."
The "binding of  HNF6 to the respective site by electromobility shift analysis (EMSA)  using female-derived  liver nuclear extracts.  HNF6 bound to the a1bg HNF6 oligonucleotide, but in this case, the mutated oligonucleotide was able to compete for binding when added in large excess . However,  the HNF6 binding capacity of the mutated oligonucleotide was clearly reduced. A 20 molar excess of the mutated oligonucleotide had only a marginal effect on the binding of HNF6 , whereas a 20 molar excess of unlabelled probe  completely abolished binding. Supershift analysis with an HNF6 antibody revealed a complex with a slightly lower mobility than the HNF6 complex .  HNF6 could bind to  respective site in the a1bg promoter in vitro, and the mutations introduced in respective site abolished binding of the corresponding factor."
The "expression of a 116/89 deletion construct in which also the HNF6 site was mutated, (116/89) delmutHNF6-Luc,  the generated luciferase activities were reduced in both sexes . This is in contrast to that mutation/deletion of the sites separately only affected the expression in female livers."
The "116/89 region contains a site(s) of importance for the GH-dependent and female-specific expression of the a1bg gene, and that the impact of this region together with the HNF6 site is more complex than mere enhancement of the expression in females."
HNF6 is expressed at higher levels in female than in male rat liver (Lahuna et al. 1997). Indeed, following mutation of the HNF6-binding element, mutHNF6-Luc, the sex-differentiated expression was attenuated due to reduced expression in females. Thus, for a1bg, the sex-related difference in amount of HNF6 is likely to contribute to the sex-differentiated and female characteristic expression."
Nuclear "proteins binding to the a1bg 116/89 region  members of the  NF1 and the  Oct families of transcription factors. NF1 genes are expressed in most adult tissues (Osada et al. 1999). It is not known how NF1 modulates transcriptional activity, and both activation and repression of transcription have been reported (Gronostajski 2000). Cofactors such as  CBP/p300  and  HDAC have been shown to interact with NF1 proteins suggesting modulation of chromatin structure (Chaudhry et al. 1999)."
"Like NF1, Oct proteins have been reported to be involved in activation as well as repression of gene expression (Phillips & Luisi 2000).  NF1 and Oct-1 have been shown to, reciprocally, facilitate each others binding (OConnor & Bernard 1995, Belikov et al. 2004)."

GeneID: 3175 ONECUT1 one cut homeobox 1 aka HNF6 on 15q21.3: "This gene encodes a member of the Cut homeobox family of transcription factors. Expression of the encoded protein is enriched in the liver, where it stimulates transcription of liver-expressed genes, and antagonizes glucocorticoid-stimulated gene transcription. This gene may influence a variety of cellular processes including glucose metabolism, cell cycle regulation, and it may also be associated with cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants."

# HNF6 analysis and results
Hepatic nuclear factors (HNFs) bind through their DNA-binding domain (DBD) to consensus elements (A/G/T)(A/T)(A/G)T(C/T)(A/C/G)AT(A/C/G/T)(A/G/T), resulting in gene transcription.
Comparison:
The occurrences of real HNF6 UTRs are greater than the randoms, positive direction proximals are greater than randoms, negative direction distals are at or less than randoms, positive direction distals are less than randoms. This suggests that the real HNF6s are likely active or activable, although the negative direction distals are at or less than randoms.
