A dual reporter mouse model of the human β-globin locus: applications and limitations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The human β-globin locus contains the β-like globin genes (i.e. fetal γ-globin and adult β-globin), which heterotetramerize with α-globin subunits to form fetal or adult hemoglobin.

Iron Metabolism in Normal and Pathological Pregnancies and Fetal Consequences

Metabolites, 2022
Iron is required for energy production, DNA synthesis, and cell proliferation, mainly as a component of the prosthetic group in hemoproteins and as part of iron-sulfur clusters.

Gene Mutation Spectrum among Alpha-Thalassaemia Patients in Northeast Peninsular Malaysia

Diagnostics, 2023
(1) Background: Alpha (α)-thalassaemia is a genetic disorder that affects 5% of the world population. Deletional or nondeletional mutations of one or both HBA1 and HBA2 on chromosome 16 will result in reduced production of α-globin chains, a component of

Androglobin, a chimeric mammalian globin, is required for male fertility

eLife, 2022
Spermatogenesis is a highly specialized differentiation process driven by a dynamic gene expression program and ending with the production of mature spermatozoa.

CTCF-mediated transcriptional regulation through cell type-specific chromosome organization in the {\beta}-globin locus [PDF]

, 2012
The principles underlying the architectural landscape of chromatin beyond the nucleosome level in living cells remains largely unknown despite its potential to play a role in mammalian gene regulation. We investigated the 3-dimensional folding of a 1 Mbp

An O2-sensing diguanylate cyclase broadly affects the aerobic transcriptome in the phytopathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Pectobacterium carotovorum is an important plant pathogen responsible for the destruction of crops through bacterial soft rot, which is modulated by oxygen (O2) concentration. A soluble globin coupled sensor protein, Pcc DgcO (also referred to as PccGCS)

MiR-144 Regulates Hemoglobin Expression in Human Erythroid Cell Line

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2020
The regulation of globin gene expression is significantly important to understand the pathogenesis of globin gene disorders. Recent findings have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) play an important role in the regulation of globin gene expression. The

TFII-I/Gtf2i and Erythro-Megakaryopoiesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
TFII-I is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor that positively or negatively regulates gene expression. TFII-I has been implicated in neuronal and immunologic diseases as well as in thymic epithelial cancer.

A simple, highly efficient method for heterologous expression in mammalian primary neurons using cationic lipid-mediated mRNA transfection

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2010
Expression of heterologous proteins in adult mammalian neurons is a valuable technique for the study of neuronal function. The postmitotic nature of mature neurons prevents effective DNA transfection using simple, cationic lipid-based methods.
