Suppose That You Have Sequenced Five Genes,including the Putative Promoter

question 41

Essay

Suppose that you have sequenced five genes,including the putative promoter region of each gene,that are involved in the cold acclimation process in Arabidopsis.Each of the five genes is expressed only when the temperature falls below a certain temperature.You know that a specific transcription factor (CBF1)binds somewhere between -200 and -250 of these genes to initiate transcription.How could you use the sequences to determine the DNA sequence motif that is bound by CBF1?
