Class

An ISRE is a transcriptional cis regulatory region, containing the consensus region: YAGTTTC(A/T)YTTTYCC, responsible for increased transcription via interferon binding.

Term requested via tracker (2981725) by Alan Ruttenberg, April 2010. It has been described as both an enhancer and a promoter, so the parent is the more general term. Moved from is_a SO:0001055 transcriptional_cis_regulatory_region to SO:0000235 TF_binding_site after Colin Logie pointed out that this is a consensus sequence where transcription factors bind, GREEKC Jan 21, 2021.
