Dicer-dependent turnover of intergenic transcripts from the human beta-globin gene cluster.
The widespread occurrence of intergenic transcription in eukaryotes is increasingly evident. Intergenic transcription in the beta-globin gene cluster has been described in murine and human cells, and models for a role in gene and chromatin activation have been proposed. In this study, we analyze intergenic transcription and the chromatin state throughout the human beta-globin gene cluster and f...
متن کاملHeterozygosis deficit of polymorphic markers linked to the β-globin gene cluster region in the Iranian population
Objective(s): Iran is considered as one of the high-prevalence areas for β-thalassemia with a rate of about 10% carrier frequency. Molecular diagnosis of the disease is performed both by direct sequencing and indirectly by the use of polymorphic markers present in the beta globin gene cluster. However, to date there is no reliable information on the application of the markers in the Iranian pop...
متن کاملCell to cell transfer of the chromatin-packaged human β-globin gene cluster
Cell type-specific gene expression is regulated by chromatin structure and the transcription factors provided by the cells. In the present study, we introduced genes packaged into chromatin into target cells using a human artificial chromosome (HAC) and analyzed regulation of gene expression. The human beta-globin gene cluster was built into an HAC (globin-HAC) and introduced into mouse embryon...
متن کاملGene Turnover and Diversification of the α- and β-Globin Gene Families in Sauropsid Vertebrates
The genes that encode the α- and β-chain subunits of vertebrate hemoglobin have served as a model system for elucidating general principles of gene family evolution, but little is known about patterns of evolution in amniotes other than mammals and birds. Here, we report a comparative genomic analysis of the α- and β-globin gene clusters in sauropsids (archosaurs and nonavian reptiles). The obj...
متن کاملtransfection of human hematopoietic stem cells by a gene targeting construct containing the β-globin gene
background: replacment of cd133+ cell’s β globin gene by using a gene targeting construct containing the β globin gene and essential elements for homologous recombination. materials and methods: pfbggt was amplified, then digested using the nhei and xhoi restriction enzymes, and finally, a 13.3 kb band (naked dna) was extracted from the agarose gel. biological activity of positive and negative ...
