To analyze the function of the 5' DNase I hypersensitive sites (HSs) of the locus control region (LCR) on beta-like globin gene expression, a 2.3-kb deletion of 5'HS3 or a 1.9-kb deletion of 5'HS2 was recombined into a beta-globin locus yeast artificial chromosome, and transgenic mice were produced. Deletion of 5'HS3 resulted in a significant decrease of epsilon-globin gene expression and an increase of gamma-globin gene expression in embryonic cells. Deletion of 5'HS2 resulted in only a small decrease in expression of epsilon-, gamma-, and beta-globin mRNA at all stages of development. Neither deletion affected the temporal pattern of globin gene switching. These results suggest that the LCR contains functionally redundant elements and that LCR complex formation does not require the presence of all DNase I hypersensitive sites. The phenotype of the 5'HS3 deletion suggests that individual HSs may influence the interaction of the LCR with specific globin gene promoters during the course of ontogeny.

D003850 Deoxyribonuclease I An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerized DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyzes endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D017353 Gene Deletion A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. Deletion, Gene,Deletions, Gene,Gene Deletions
