Abstract excerpt
To test the role of CACCC box on gamma-globin gene activation, the CACCC box was deleted or mutated and gamma-gene expression was monitored in transgenic mice. Disruption of the CACCC box had no effect on gamma-gene expression in the cells of embryonic erythropoiesis but it strikingly reduced gamma-gene expression in fetal erythropoiesis, and abolished gamma-gene expression in adult erythroid cells. The CACCC...
