متن کاملTranscriptional regulators Myb and BCL11A interplay with DNA methyltransferase 1 in developmental silencing of embryonic and fetal β-like globin genes.
The clinical symptoms of hemoglobin disorders such as β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are significantly ameliorated by the persistent expression of γ-globin after birth. This knowledge has driven the discovery of important regulators that silence γ-globin postnatally. Improved understanding of the γ- to β-globin switching mechanism holds the key to devising targeted therapies for β-hemoglo...
متن کاملMechanisms of developmental control of transcription in the murine a- and b-globin loci
We have characterized mRNA expression and transcription of the mouse aand b-globin loci during development. S1 nuclease and primary transcript in situ hybridization analyses demonstrate that all seven murine globin genes (z, a1, a2, ey, bH1, bmaj, and bmin) are transcribed during primitive erythropoiesis, however transcription of the z, ey, and bH1 genes is restricted to the primitive erythroid...
متن کاملIn situ hybridization reveals co-expression of embryonic and adult alpha globin genes in the earliest murine erythrocyte progenitors.
Murine erythropoiesis begins with the formation of primitive red blood cells in the blood islands of the embryonic yolk sac on day 7.5 of gestation. By analogy to human erythropoiesis, it has been thought that there is a gradual switch from the exclusive expression of the embryonic alpha-like globin (zeta) to the mature adult form (alpha) in these early mouse cells. We have used in situ hybridi...
متن کاملCpG hypomethylation in a large domain encompassing the embryonic beta-like globin genes in primitive erythrocytes.
There is little evidence addressing the role of CpG methylation in transcriptional control of genes that do not contain CpG islands. This is reflected in the ongoing debate about whether CpG methylation merely suppresses retroelements or if it also plays a role in developmental and tissue-specific gene regulation. The genes of the beta-globin locus are an important model of mammalian developmen...
