[bionet.molbio.gene-org] transcription factor DNA-binding sites

droufa@matt.ksu.ksu.edu (Donald J Roufa) (06/12/91)

Does anyone know of a database cataloging nuclear transcription factor
binding sequences in cloned DNAs?  Specifically, I am interested in
finding a comprehensive listing of DNA motifs known to interact with
mammalian transcription factors.  It would be ideal if the database
were accessible by ftp or e-mail.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

There are two databases of promoter elements avaliable.  One is the
Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) and the other is the the Transcription
Factor Database (TFD).  You can get info on these by mailing the
following to the server at EMBL:

Address:  netserve@embl.bitnet

content of mail message:

DIR TFD
DIR EPD
HELP TFD
HELP EPD


The EMBL server will then mail you files on how to get and use the files.

I believe that these files can also be obtained at one of the following
FTP sites:

NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV
MENUDO.UH.EDU
IUBIO.BIO.INDIANA.EDU

There is a program (and associated database) SIGSCAN which contains the data you are interested
in which is obtained from:

Dan Prestridge
T-10, MS K710
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, NM 87545
U.S.A.
