Abstract excerpt
Expression of the five beta-like globin genes (epsilon, Ggamma, Agamma, delta, beta) in the human beta-globin locus depends on enhancement by the locus control region, which consists of five DNase I hypersensitive sites (5'HS1 through 5'HS5). We report here a novel enhancer activity in 5'HS1 that appears to be potent in transfected K562 cells. Deletion analyses identified a core activating element that bound to...
