Developmental stage differences in chromatin subdomains of the -globin locus
The mammalian -globin loci each contain a family of developmentally expressed genes, and a far upstream regulatory element, the locus control region (LCR). In adult murine erythroid cells, the LCR and the transcribed -globin genes exist within domains of histone acetylation and RNA polymerase II (pol II) is associated with them. In contrast, the silent embryonic genes lie between these domains ...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Chromatin looping and eRNA transcription precede the transcriptional activation of gene in the β-globin locus
Enhancers are closely positioned with actively transcribed target genes by chromatin looping. Non-coding RNAs are often transcribed on active enhancers, referred to as eRNAs (enhancer RNAs). To explore the kinetics of enhancer-promoter looping and eRNA transcription during transcriptional activation, we induced the β-globin locus by chemical treatment and analysed cross-linking frequency betwee...
متن کاملReconstitution of human beta-globin locus control region hypersensitive sites in the absence of chromatin assembly.
The human beta-globin genes are regulated by the locus control region (LCR), an element composed of multiple DNase I-hypersensitive sites (HS sites) located 5' to the genes. Various functional studies indicate that the LCR confers high-level, position-independent, and copy number-dependent expression to linked globin genes in transgenic mice. However, the structural basis for LCR function is un...
متن کاملChromatin remodelling and the interaction between enhancers and promoters in the beta-globin locus.
The beta-globin genes are among the most studied families of tissue-specific and developmentally regulated genes. Even before genome-wide sequencing was a reality, the sequences of extensive regions of the human, rabbit and mouse beta-globin loci were available through the individual efforts of several research groups. Many of the genomic approaches now being pursued in order to understand the ...
