A major role for the TATA box in recruitment of chromatin modifying complexes to a globin gene promoter

Abstract: The developmentally regulated mammalian ␤-globin genes are activated by a distant locus control region͞enhancer. To understand the role of chromatin remodeling complexes in this activation, we used stably replicated chromatin templates, in which transcription activation of the human embryonic -globin gene depends on the tandem Maf-recognition elements (MAREs) within the ␤-globin locus control region HS2 enhancer, to which the erythroid factor NF-E2 binds. The HS2 MAREs are required for nucleosome mobilization … Show more

“…However, the binding of GATA-1 and NF-E2 at the LCR and gene promoter are not affected (Kim et al, 2007). This result is consistent with the function of NF-E2 as a 'pioneer' transcription factor that can bind to chromatin absent remodeling (Gui and Dean, 2003).…”

“…We previously observed nucleosome mobilization and histone hyperacetylation at the promoter of the transcriptionally active ε-globin gene linked with the 374-bp core HS2 enhancer on stably maintained minichromosomes in K562 cells (16,17). To investigate the chromatin anatomy of a more complete enhancer-gene locus, we created minichromosomes linking ε-globin to a longer 1.46-kb KpnI-to-BglII LCR HS2 enhancer fragment (Fig.…”

“…One possibility is that the complexes migrate by tracking (53) across the intervening chromatin, as has been proposed to underlie widespread acetylation in the globin locus (12). Alternatively, an LCR enhancer and promoter may exist in proximity in vivo by looping (31), as suggested by recent work in which distant enhancers and promoters are occupied simultaneously by the HAT CBP (19,35,48,49) and the SWI/SNF components BRG1 (19) and BAF 155 (17). The work of Hatzis and Talianidis (19) elegantly illustrates that these models may not be mutually exclusive, as CBP and BRG1 maintain enhancer association as they progress through intervening sequences to the promoter.…”

“…The formation of loops in minichromosomes would not be impeded, since 2.5 kb of native sequence separate the enhancer and promoter (38). The TATA box may be important for such interactions in the model locus (14). Looping interactions in chromosomes between the LCR HSs and the ␤-globin gene are not compromised by deletion of the promoter of the gene, arguing against this possibility (37).…”
