Abstract excerpt
High-level, tissue-specific expression of the beta-globin genes requires the presence of an upstream locus control region (LCR). The overall enhancer activity of the beta-globin complex LCR (beta-LCR) is dependent on the integrity of the tandem NF-E2 sites of HS-2. The NF-E2 protein which binds these sites is a heterodimeric basic leucine zipper protein composed of a tissue-specific subunit, p45 NF-E2, and a...
