When transcription is initiated under repressive
conditions, such as when chromatin are packed together, binding
followed by the functioning of key components in the transcriptional
apparatus should be appropriately facilitated in the chromatin
architecture. We provide evidence that the erythroid-specific enhancer-
binding protein NF-E2 interacts with the cognate motif at DNase
I-hypersensitive site 2 of the human
Interaction of NF-E2 in the Human
-Globin Locus Control Region
before Chromatin Remodeling*
and
-globin locus control region in
a repressive state. The nucleosome containing the NF-E2-binding
site showed characteristic rotational and translational phases in
vitro. The binding site had less affinity to the histone octamers
than nearby regions while showing greater accessibility to DNase I and
micrococcal nuclease. Furthermore, the motif was recognized by the
exogenous NF-E2 protein expressed in HeLa cells, which have a
repressive state of chromatin at the
-globin locus, as shown by
ligation-mediated PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. These
lines of evidence indicate that NF-E2 interacts with the cognate motif
on the nucleosome before chromatin is remodeled.
