Transcriptional Control of Hemoglobin Synthesis and Erythrocyte Development
PROJECT SUMMARY Hemoglobin synthesis and erythrocyte development are often studied independently, yet their mechanisms are inextricably linked. Differentiation defects yield immature precursors, and impaired hemoglobin synthesis causes ineffective erythropoiesis. A common thread of these mechanisms is GATA transcription factor involvement. Many questions remain regarding how GATA factor networks instruct progenitors to generate vast numbers of erythrocytes, which broadly informs molecular/cellular biology and hematology. We discovered: 1) locus-specific coregulator utilization by GATA1 to control differentiation; 2) GATA factor/regeneration-activated enhancer confers expression of an…
