Abstract

Using DNA restriction fragments of the mouse beta-globin gene and other promoter-containing DNA fragments (LTR-MMTV and pBR322) as controls, we have characterized by protein blotting, in extracts of mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells, specific nuclear DNA binding proteins with a preferential affinity for the beta-globin DNA. Some proteins (110 and 75 kDa) appear in differentiated MEL cells while others (100, 95, and 35 kDa) are present in immature MEL and normal erythroblast cells and bind selectively to the far-upstream region of the gene. These proteins could modulate either positively or negatively the expression of the beta-globin gene and maybe, of other genes, during the terminal differentiation of erythroid cells.
