RESUMO
Transcription factor GATA-1 is required for the terminal differentiation of both the primitive and definitive erythroid cell lineages, and yet the regulatory mechanisms of GATA-1 itself are not well understood. To clarify how the GATA-1 gene is transcriptionally controlled in vivo, presumptive regulatory regions of the gene were tested by fusion to a reporter gene and then examined in transgenic mice. We found that a transcriptional control element located between −3.9 and −2.6 kb 5′ to the erythroid first exon serves as an activating element and that this sequence alone is sufficient to recapitulate the expression of GATA-1 (but uniquely in primitive erythroid cells). Addition of sequences from the GATA-1 first intron to this upstream element provides a necessary and sufficient condition for complete recapitulation of GATA-1 expression in both primitive and definitive erythroid cells. The first intron element does not possess intrinsic transcriptional activation potential when linked to the GATA-1 gene promoter but rather requires the upstream activating element for its activity. These experiments show that GATA-1 gene expression is regulated by discrete transcriptional control elements during definitive and primitive erythropoiesis: The 5′ element displays properties anticipated for a primitive erythroid cell-specific activating element, and the novel element within the GATA-1 first intron specifically augments this activity in definitive erythroid cells.
