We have demonstrated that a highly conserved segment of DNA between positions -288 and -317 (upstream sequence element IV [USE IV]) is largely responsible for the transcriptional activation of the sea urchin H1-beta histone gene during the blastula stage of embryogenesis. This sequence is capable of acting as an embryonic enhancer element, activating target genes in a stage-specific manner. Nuclear extracts prepared from developmentally-staged organisms before and after the gene is activated all contain a factor which specifically binds to the enhancer.
