Conserved E Boxes Function as Part of the Enhancer in Hypersensitive Site 2 of the β-Globin Locus Control Region
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
The human beta-globin gene cluster is regulated in part by a distal locus control region that is required for opening a chromatin domain in erythroid cells and enhancing expression of the beta-like globin genes at the correct developmental stages. One part of the locus control region, called hypersensitive site 2 (HS2), functions as a strong enhancer. Matches to the consensus binding sites for basic...
