Eos Negatively Regulates Human γ-globin Gene Transcription during Erythroid Differentiation
BACKGROUND Human globin gene expression is precisely regulated by a complicated network of transcription factors and chromatin modifying activities during development and erythropoiesis. Eos (Ikaros family zinc finger 4, IKZF4), a member of the zinc finger transcription factor Ikaros family, plays a pivotal role as a repressor of gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine the role of...
متن کاملHighly efficient beta globin transcription in the absence of both a viral enhancer and erythroid factors.
We have studied the transcription of the Xenopus major adult beta globin gene in microinjected Xenopus oocytes at various levels of injected template, with or without the SV40 enhancer. We find that enhancer-independent transcription is highly efficient, being only two orders of magnitude below the calculated in vivo rate. Linkage to the SV40 enhancer has very little stimulatory effect. We have...
متن کاملHighly efficient /3 globin transcription in the absence of both a viral enhancer and erythroid factors
We have studied the transcription of the Xenopus major adult (3 globin gene in microinjected Xenopus oocytes at various levels of injected template, with or without the SV40 enhancer. We find that enhancerindependent transcription is highly efficient, being only two orders of magnitude below the calculated in vivo rate. Linkage to the SV40 enhancer has very little stimulatory effect. We have al...
متن کاملGlobin gene expression in erythroid human fetal liver cells.
We measured steady-state levels of the human globin mRNAs in liver samples from several mid-gestational fetuses. RNA from the epsilon, gamma, beta, zeta, theta, and alpha globin genes were present in fetal liver samples isolated from 10-25-wk embryos. The abundance of all human globin mRNAs declined in older fetuses, presumably because of a gradual reduction in the proportion of erythroid precu...
متن کاملTransient Expression Assay of Aγ-588 (A/G) Mutations in the K562 Cell Line
Background: In the previous study, we have shown that the presence of A allele at position -588 in Aγ-globin gene was highly frequent and closely associated with fetal hemoglobin elevation among β-thalassemia intermedia patients. Therefore, we decided to investigate whether this allele (A allele at -588) could result in an increase in Aγ-globin gene expression to ameliorate the severity of the ...
