ABSTRACT The human β-globin genes are expressed in a developmental stage-specific manner in erythroid cells. Gene-proximal cis-regulatory DNA elements and interacting proteins restrict the expression of the genes to the embryonic, fetal, or adult stage of erythropoiesis. In addition, the relative order of the genes with respect to the locus control region contributes to the temporal regulation of the genes. We have previously shown that transcription factors TFII-I and USF interact with the β-globin promoter in erythroid cells. Herein we demonstrate that reducing the activity of USF decreased β-globin gene expression, while diminishing TFII-I activity increased β-globin gene expression in erythroid cell lines. Furthermore, a reduction of USF activity resulted in a significant decrease in acetylated H3, RNA polymerase II, and cofactor recruitment to the locus control region and to the adult β-globin gene. The data suggest that TFII-I and USF regulate chromatin structure accessibility and recruitment of transcription complexes in the β-globin gene locus and play important roles in restricting β-globin gene expression to the adult stage of erythropoiesis.

Key Points KLF1 directly drives expression of ZBTB7A, a key repressor of fetal γ-globin gene expression, in erythroid cells. An erythroid-specific regulation mechanism allows upregulation of a novel ZBTB7A transcript in erythroid cells.
