Objective To map the approximate transcription initiation site of STK11/LKB1 and identify its potential promoter region. Methods All reported transcripts of STK11/LKB1 were colllected through searching online database. The “first exon”, “first intron” and 5' UTR upstream gDNA sequence of STK11/LKB1 were analysed by MethPrimer and FiretEF to predict the CpG island and possible transcription initiation site, respectively. The STK11/LKB1 gDNA sequence was also analysed by softwares such as PromoterInspector to predict the probable promoter region. Results Among all the reported transcripts of STK11/LKB1, 5'UTR of BC007981 was the longest. STK11/LKB1 gene was a typical CpG island associated gene. There was no exon in the upstream region of the “first exon”, and 5'UTR in BC007981 was close to transcription initiation site. Promoters were predicted in the BC007981 5' upstream 200～400bp region. Conclusion The 5'UTR of STK11/LKB1 approaches the transcription initiation site. The transcription initiation site of STK11/LKB1 gene in several hundreds bp region of 5'UTR upstream may be indentified. The data will benefit further research on the trascriptional regulation of STK11/LKB1 through experimental methods.
