Regulation of RNA polymerase II activity is essential for terminal erythroid maturation

Abstract excerpt

The terminal maturation of human erythroblasts requires significant changes in gene expression in the context of dramatic nuclear condensation. Defects in this process are associated with inherited anemias and myelodysplastic syndromes. The progressively dense appearance of the condensing nucleus in maturing erythroblasts led to the assumption that heterochromatin accumulation underlies this process, but despite...
