Blurring cis and trans in gene regulation
Abstract
In this issue of Cell, Axel and colleagues (Lomvardas et al., 2006) report that a single enhancer of an odorant receptor (OR) gene cluster interacts with multiple OR gene promoters on different chromosomes. This study suggests a mechanism that allows olfactory sensory neurons to choose randomly and express only one out of more than 1000 OR genes.
