The beta-globin stage selector element factor is erythroid-specific promoter/enhancer binding protein NF-E4.

Abstract: The analysis of transcriptional regulatory proteins is often hampered because such factors are present in cells in only sparing abundance. Although direct biochemical purification has been successfully applied to the analysis of many of these factors, such methods are labor intensive and expensive. We have developed an alternative strategy to identify and characterize such trans-acting factors and have used it to analyze the proteins that interact with the chicken adult p-globin gene enhancer and promoter.

“…The final level of regulation, determination of which globin gene isotype is to be expressed at a particular developmental stage [referred to as hemoglobin switching), is elicited by cooperative cis-regulatory interactions between distal control elements (enhancers or DCR/LARI and sequences within physically linked genes Enver et al 1990). In at least one case, this regulation may be due to the binding, within the chicken adult ~-globin gene promoter and enhancer, of a unique developmental stageand tissue-specific erythroid transcription factor, NF-E4 (Gallarda et al 1989).…”

“…Within the chicken ~-globin gene promoter and enhancer, multiple constitutive and tissue-or stage-specific trans-acting factor binding sites have been defined, and their activity has been correlated with function both in vitro and in vivo (Emerson et al 1987(Emerson et al , 1989Choi and Engel 1988;Lewis et al 1988;Nickol and Felsenfeld 1988;Reitman and Felsenfeld 1988;Gallarda et al 1989). The first of the erythrocyte-specific trans-acting factor binding sites to be identified is a prevalent motif, WGATAR (W --T or A; R = G or A), found in common within the human ~/-globin promoter and in the human and chicken ~-globin gene enhancers (Evans et al 1988;Wall et al 1988;Catala et al 1989;Martin et al 1989;Perkins et al 1989).…”

“…For these studies, the parental GATA and GATA/ER cDNAs were inserted into a eukaryotic expression plasmid TFAneo (Federspiel et al 1989;Yamamoto et al 1990), and the activator and reporter plasmids were cotransfected into QT6 quail fibroblasts. To monitor GATA activity, the C3BGH reporter plasmid, which has three copies of the GATA inverted repeat motif of the chicken B-globin enhancer (Emerson et al 1987;Gallarda et al 1989) cloned 5' to the rabbit B-globin TATA box, was used. This artificial promoter directs transcription of the human growth hormone (hGH) gene in the C3[~GH reporter plasmid (Yamamoto et al 1990).…”
