Abstract
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.Entities:
