Abstract excerpt
The 3' enhancer of the T cell receptor alpha-chain (TCR alpha) gene directs the tissue- and stage-specific expression and V(D)J recombination of this gene locus. Using an in vitro system that reproduces TCR alpha enhancer activity efficiently, we show that long-range promoter-enhancer regulation requires a T cell-specific repressor complex and is sensitive to DNA topology. In this system, the enhancer functions...
