Published: May 2004

We analyzed the promoter regions of the adult rat beta (IIbeta, IIIbeta, and 0beta)-globin genes. The results indicated that (1) the activities of the minimal promoters of these three genes are proportional to the gene expression levels in vivo, and (2) erythroid-specific repressor regions are located immediately upstream of the minimal promoter sequences and are regulated by the same transcription factor.
