摘要

Identification of promoters and their regulatory elements are the most important phases in bioinformatics. To understand the regulation of gene expression, identification, and analysis of promoters region, motif and CpG islands are the most important steps. The accurate prediction of promoter’s is basic for proper interpretation of gene expression patterns, construction and understanding of genetic regulatory system. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the promoter region, motif such as a transcription factor and CpG islands in AraC family transcriptional regulator ACP92 genes of Herbaspirillum seropedicae. The analysis was carried out by identifying transcription start sites in ACP92 genome sequences taken from the H. seropedicae assembly of NCBI genome browser, and 29 ACP92 genes sequences. Accordingly, transcription start sites (TSS) were identified, and the result indicated that 37.9% had more than one TSS whereas only 62.1% had one TSS. In the analysis, seven motifs were identified from the thought sequences and MV6 was revealed the common promoter motif for all (100%) in H. seropedicae ACP92 gene that serves as binding sites for transcription factors which shared a minimum of 48.27%. Based on a common motif MV6 to find out similar motifs using TOMTOM from the databases of prokaryotes DNA, most of them are transcription factors of fur family. The others are bacterial histone-like protein family, matp and sigma-54 factor family also transcription factor families that are binding candidate to MV6. H. seropedicae ACP92 genes are CpG Island which implies that the regulation of gene expression plays an important role.
