Characterization of an Evolutionarily Conserved Far-upstream Enhancer in the Human α2(I) Collagen (COL1A2) Gene
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have examined the chromatin structure around and upstream of the transcriptional start site of the human alpha2(I) collagen (COL1A2) gene. Four strong DNase I-hypersensitive sites (HS2-5) were only detected in fibroblasts, and a weaker one (HS1) was identified in type I collagen-negative cells. Another hypersensitive site potentially involved in COL1A2 silencing was found in intron 1 (HS(In)). HS1 and HS2 were...
