TATA boxn.

Brit.

/ˈtɑːtɑː ˌbɒks/, U.S.

/ˈtɑˌtɑ ˌbɑks/

Origin: Formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: box n.²

Etymology: < TATA, shortened < TATAAA, the repeated initials of the bases thymine and adenine in the consensus sequence of this DNA element + box n.²

Genetics.

A conserved DNA element which forms part of the promoter (promoter n. 4c) of many eukaryotic genes. Also called Hogness box.

ΚΠ

1980 Nature 20 Nov. 210/1 The sequence is invariably AT rich and is most commonly known as the TATA (tar-tar) box but at other times as the Hogness box.

1993 Cell 73 386/2 The reporter gene was chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT), controlled by a synthetic promoter comprising two GAL4 operators linked to a TATA box.

2006 Jrnl. Cell Biol. 172 122/1 There is an increasing number of genes that are controlled by the core promoter sequence, including the TATA box (minimal promoter).

This is a new entry (OED Third Edition, November 2010; most recently modified version published online March 2022).
