This paper describes the mechanism of regulation of the human beta-globin on the basis of a number of natural mutations and experiments in transgenic mice. From these data we conclude that this multigene locus is regulated at a number of different levels involving specific interactions between the Locus Control Region (LCR) and the individual genes. Most important is the action of stage specific transcription factors acting on sequences immediately flanking the genes. In addition, specificity is obtained through specific interaction of the genes with the LCR and through competition of the genes for interaction with the LCR.

Gene Action Regulation,Regulation of Gene Expression,Expression Regulation, Gene,Regulation, Gene Action,Regulation, Gene Expression
D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.

D005812 Genes, Switch Genes that cause the epigenotype (i.e., the interrelated developmental pathways through which the adult organism is realized) to switch to an alternate cell lineage-related pathway. Switch complexes control the expression of normal functional development as well as oncogenic transformation.
