PlantCARE -- A database of plant cis-acting elements

What you can do:
Search for information on plant cis-acting regulatory elements, transcription sites, enhancers and repressors.
Highlights:
  • Regulatory elements are represented by positional matrices, consensus sequences and individual sites on particular promoter sequences. Links to the EMBL, TRANSFAC, and MEDLINE databases are provided where available.
  • Data about the transcription sites are mainly extracted from the literature, added with an increasing number of in silico predicted data.
  • Apart from a general description for specific transcription factor sites, levels of confidence for the experimental evidence, functional information and the position on the promoter are also given.
  • As of 2003, there were a total of 668 cis-acting regulatory elements that can be queried on TF-site name, motif, function, species, cell type, gene, transcription factor, and literature references.
