Cell-cycle box gene transcriptions
"The 5' non-coding part contains the sequence elements characteristic for eukaryotic promoters such as TATA and CAAT boxes as well as an inverted motif typical for cell-cycle regulated genes named "cell-cycle box" (CCB). The consensus sequence of CCB is CACGAAAA (Nasmyth, 1985), however, more relaxed variants such as CACGAAA, ACGAAA and C-CGAAA were described in budding yeast CLN1 and CLN2 (Ogas et al, 1991)."

# Inverse copies
"In our soybean genomic clone CCB is represented as an inverted motif TTTTGGTG at the -66 position. (Breeden and Nasmyth (1987) suggested that the "cell cycle box" is functional in either orientation, acting as an enhancer."

# Enhancer activity

# Promoter occurrences

# Hypotheses
- A1BG has no regulatory elements in either promoter.
- A1BG is not transcribed by a regulatory element.
- No regulatory element participates in the transcription of A1BG.

# CCB Samplings
Copying a responsive elements consensus sequence CACGAAAA and putting the sequence in "F" finds none between ZNF497 and A1BG or none between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence CACGAAAA (starting with SuccessablesCCB.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:

# Cell-cycle boxes analysis and results
The real promoters have been examined for the CCB variants: CACGAAA, ACGAAA and C-CGAAA, where C-C indicates CC with the likely A being absent (CCGAAA). The inverse complements are TTTCGTG, TTTCGT and TTTCG-G (TTTCGG). The possibility of finding these CCB variants has been performed using a general consensus sequence of NNCGAAA, the expected variants should occur if present. The real promoters have CCB variants only in the distal promoters. In the negative direction, the variants occur ACGAAA at 494 and ACGAAA at 312. The actual general consensus sequence occurrences are GGCGAAA at 2157, TACGAAA at 494, and GACGAAA at 312. CACGAAA or CCGAAA never occurred. The inverse complements occur in the negative and positive direction: TTTCGT at 2479, TTTCGT at 2473 and TTTCGT at 186, and TTTCGGG at 1752, negative strand, positive strand: TTTCGTG at 3600, TTTCGT at 2006, respectively. The occurrences are 2.5 and 1.5 per direction.
The random datasets had twenty-three UTR general consensus sequences for an occurrence of 2.3. Of these the CCB variants had the following frequencies: CACGAAA (0), ACGAAA (2) and CCGAAA (5). The inverse complements had TTTCGTG (0), TTTCGT (1) and TTTCGG (6). The remaining nine were of the general consensus sequence of NNCGAAA or TTTCGNN.
The random datasets had three general consensus sequences in arbitrary positive direction core promoter only for an occurrence of 0.3 (two strands, one direction) or 0.15 (four strands, both directions). The proximal general consensus sequences (five) had occurrences of 0.2 and 0.3.
The distal promoters for the random datasets had twenty-six in the arbitrary negative direction for an occurrence of 2.6 and forty-two in the positive direction for an occurrence of 4.2.
As the choices for direction are arbitrary for the random datasets an average occurrence would be 3.25. Even separately the real occurrences are lower than the random ones albeit not by much for the real negative direction (2.5) vs. the arbitrarily chosen negative direction (2.6) for the randoms. The randoms also had UTR, core and proximal promoter occurrences where the reals have none.
These results suggest that the real variants ACGAAA (2), TTTCGT (5) and TTTCGG (1), are likely active or activable.
"The consensus sequence of CCB is CACGAAAA (Nasmyth, 1985), however, more relaxed variants such as CACGAAA, ACGAAA and C-CGAAA were described in budding yeast CLN1 and CLN2 (Ogas et al, 1991)." The specific relaxed variant tested for in A1BG is ACGAAA.
Comparison:
The occurrences of real CCB distals are outside than the randoms or overlap at the low end in the negative distals. This suggests that the real CCBs are likely active or activable.
