DNasel hypersensitive sites 1, 2 and 3 of the human ß-globin dominant control region direct position-independent expression
Laboratory of Gene Structure and Expression, National Institute for Medical Research The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, London NW7 1AA, UK
Received March 27, 1990. Revised May 14, 1990. Accepted May 14, 1990.
The human ß-globin dominant control region (DCR) which flanks the multigene ß-globin locus directs high level, site of integration independent, copy number dependent expression on a linked human ß-globin gene in transgenic mice and stably transfected mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. We have assayed each of the individual DNasel hypersensitve regions present in the full 15kb DCR for position independence and copy number dependence of a linked ß-globin gene in transgenic mice. The results show that at least three of the individual DNasel hypersensitive site regions (sites 1, 2 and 3), though expressing at lower levels than the full DCR, are capable of position independent, copy number dependent expression. Site 2 alone directs the highest level of expression of the single site constructs, producing nearly 70% of the level of the full DCR. Sites 1 and 3 each provide 30% of the full activity. Deletion of either site 2 or 3 from the complete set significantly reduces the level of expression, but does not effect position independence or copy number dependence. This demonstrates that sites 2 and 3 are required for full expression and suggests that all the sites are required for the full expression of even a single gene from this multigene locus.
