TCT_motif [SO_0001959]

A cis-regulatory element, conserved sequence YYC+1TTTYY, and spans -2 to +6 relative to +1 TSS. It is present in most ribosomal protein genes in Drosophila and mammals but not in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Resembles the initiator (TCAKTY in Drosophila) but functionally distinct from initiator.
