Beta-globin gene expression regulation (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
Cis- and trans-acting regulators shape gene expression within the β-globin cluster. The LDB1 complex (LDB1/LMO2/GATA1/TAL1) binds both the locus control region (LCR) and globin promoters, promoting chromatin looping to activate these genes—interactions that may be influenced by cis-acting variants linked to HbS haplotypes. Across the HBB gene cluster and its surrounding regions, BCL11A and ZBTB7A (LRF) binding sites are present, represented by red and blue stars. Each of these transcription factors recruits its own NuRD complex. MYB regulates HbF expression directly and also indirectly through KLF1 and BCL11A. Repression of the HbF genes is indicated by dashed lines.
