Identification of Bach2 as a B-cell-specific partner for small maf proteins that negatively regulate the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene 3' enhancer.
Maf family transcription factors are important regulators in various differentiation systems. Putative Maf recognition elements (MAREs) are found in the 3' enhancer region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene. These elements are bound in B-cell extracts by a heterodimeric protein complex containing both Bach2 and a small Maf protein. Analysis of normal hematopoietic cells revealed that ...
متن کاملPi, a pre-B-cell-specific enhancer element in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer.
We have identified a new immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer element, designated pi, between the microE2 and microE3 elements. The pi enhancer element is transcriptionally active primarily during early stages of B-cell development but becomes virtually inactive during B-cell maturation at about the stage of immunoglobulin kappa light-chain gene rearrangement. Mutational analysis suggests that t...
متن کاملThe immunoglobulin heavy chain locus contains another B-cell-specific 3' enhancer close to the alpha constant region.
The transcription of immunoglobulin genes is controlled by variable region promoters and by enhancers, both of which are lymphoid specific. Because immunoglobulin genes are subject to an extremely complex regulation, we anticipated that there might be additional control elements for these genes. We therefore sought additional enhancers and demonstrate here that there is indeed another weak tran...
متن کاملB-lymphocyte targeting of gene expression in transgenic mice with the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer.
A hybrid gene containing rabbit beta-globin structural sequences (-9 to +1650), and a chicken conalbumin gene promoter (+62 to -102) in the place of the beta-globin promoter (upstream from -9), was inactive in 5 different transgenic mouse line. Adding the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) enhancer to this construction specifically stimulated expression in B-cells. These results show that I...
متن کاملInvolvement of a second lymphoid-specific enhancer element in the regulation of immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene expression.
To determine whether enhancer elements in addition to the highly conserved octamer (OCTA)-nucleotide motif are important for lymphoid-specific expression of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) gene, we have investigated the effect of mutating the binding site for a putative additional lymphoid-specific transcription factor, designated NF-microB, in the murine IgH enhancer. We demonstrate that ...
