Heterochromatin Effects on the Frequency and Duration of LCR-Mediated Gene Transcription
Open accessAbstract
Locus control regions (LCRs) are responsible for initiating and maintaining a stable tissue-specific open chromatin structure of a locus. In transgenic mice, LCRs confer high level expression on linked genes independent of position in the mouse genome. Here we show that an incomplete LCR loses this property when integrated into heterochromatic regions. Two disruption mechanisms were observed. One is classical position-effect variegation, resulting in continuous transcription in a clonal subpopulation of cells. The other is a novel mechanism resulting in intermittent gene transcription in all cells. We conclude that only a complete LCR fully overcomes heterochromatin silencing and that it controls the level of transcription by ensuring activity in all cells at all times rather than directly controlling the rate of transcription.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
