Proteins are the core and the engine of every process in cells thus the study of mechanisms that drive the regulation of protein expression, is essential. Transcription factors play a central role in this extremely complex task and they synergically co-operate in order to provide a fine tuning of protein expressions. In the present study, we designed a mathematically well-founded procedure to investigate the mutual positioning of transcription factors binding sites related to a given couple of transcription factors in order to evaluate the possible association between them. We obtained a list of highly related transcription factors couples, whose binding site occurrences significantly group together for a given set of gene promoters, identifying the biological contexts in which the couples are involved in and the processes they should contribute to regulate.
