Human β-Globin Locus Control Region HS5Contains CTCF- and Developmental Stage-Dependent Enhancer-BlockingActivity in ErythroidCells
26 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The human beta-globin locus contains five developmentally regulated beta-type globin genes. All five genes depend on the locus control region (LCR), located at the 5' end of the locus, for abundant globin gene transcription. The LCR is composed of five DNase I-hypersensitive sites (HSs), at least a subset of which appear to cooperate to form a holocomplex in activating genes within the locus. We previously tested...
