Abstract excerpt
The human beta-globin gene is abundantly expressed specifically in adult erythroid cells. Stage-specific transcription is regulated principally by promoter proximal cis-regulatory elements. The basal promoter contains a non-canonical TATA-like motif as well as an initiator element. These two elements have been shown to interact with the TFII-D complex. Here we show that in addition to the TATA and initiator...
