Tissue-specific histone modification and transcription factor binding in alpha globin gene expression.
To address the mechanism by which the human globin genes are activated during erythropoiesis, we have used a tiled microarray to analyze the pattern of transcription factor binding and associated histone modifications across the telomeric region of human chromosome 16 in primary erythroid and nonerythroid cells. This 220-kb region includes the alpha globin genes and 9 widely expressed genes fla...
متن کاملZebrafish globin switching occurs in two developmental stages and is controlled by the LCR.
Globin gene switching is a complex, highly regulated process allowing expression of distinct globin genes at specific developmental stages. Here, for the first time, we have characterized all of the zebrafish globins based on the completed genomic sequence. Two distinct chromosomal loci, termed major (chromosome 3) and minor (chromosome 12), harbor the globin genes containing α/β pairs in a 5'-...
متن کاملRole of ZBP-89 in human globin gene regulation and erythroid differentiation.
The molecular mechanisms underlying erythroid-specific gene regulation remain incompletely understood. Closely spaced binding sites for GATA, NF-E2/maf, and CACCC interacting transcription factors play functionally important roles in globin and other erythroid-specific gene expression. We and others recently identified the CACCC-binding transcription factor ZBP-89 as a novel GATA-1 and NF-E2/ma...
متن کاملSelective silencing of α-globin by the histone demethylase inhibitor IOX1: a potentially new pathway for treatment of β-thalassemia.
Thalassemia is the world’s most common form of inherited anemia, and in economically undeveloped countries still accounts for tens of thousands of premature deaths every year. The accumulation of free excess α-globin chains in red blood cells and their precursors, as a result of the decreased production of b-globin, is believed to be the main pathophysiological mechanism leading to hemolytic an...
متن کاملOnset and inheritance of abnormal epigenetic regulation in hematopoietic cells.
Abnormal epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes significantly to a variety of human pathologies including cancer. Deletion of hypersensitive site 2 (HS2) at the human beta-globin locus control region can lead to abnormal epigenetic regulation of globin genes in transgenic mice. Here, two HS2-deleted transgenic mouse lines were used as model to demonstrate that heritable alteration...
