DAF-16 binding element gene transcriptions
"DAF-16 binding element (DBE), GTAAACA or TGTTTAC, and DAF-16-associated element (DAE), TGATAAG or CTTATCA, enriched in DAF-16 regulated genes . The DBE was recognized by DAF-16, and the DAE by transcription factor PQM-1 ." Note: GTAAACA is the inverse complement (ic) of TGTTTAC and TGATAAG is the ic of CTTATCA.

# Human genes
Gene ID: 2308 is FOXO1 forkhead box O1 on 13q14.11: "This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Translocation of this gene with PAX3 has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma."

# Consensus sequences
5'-GTAAACA-3'.
"Most paralogous FOX proteins bind to the canonical DNA response element 5-RYAAAYA-3 (R = A or G, Y = C or T)1113."
"Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), a master transcriptional factor for gluconeogenesis in the liver, directly regulates TXNIP expression through the binding of the promoter region of TXNIP which contains a conserved consensus sequence, GTAAACAA, of the FOXO binding site ."

# Hypotheses
- A1BG has no DBEs in either promoter.
- A1BG is not transcribed by a DBE.
- DBE does not participate in the transcription of A1BG.

# DBE samplings
Copying an apparent consensus sequence of (A/G)(C/T)AAA(C/T)A and putting it in "F" finds none located between ZSCAN22 and A1BG and none between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
Copying the consensus element GTAAACA into F found no elements in either promoter of A1BG.
For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence (A/G)(C/T)AAA(C/T)A (starting with SuccessablesDBE.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

# Response element analysis and results
"Most paralogous FOX proteins bind to the canonical DNA response element 5-RYAAAYA-3 (R = A or G, Y = C or T)1113."
Comparison:
The occurrences of real DBEs are outside the randoms. This suggests that the real DBEs are likely active or activable.
