摘要

In mouse and human, the #beta#-globin genes reside in a linear array that is associated with a positive regulatory element located 5' to the genes known as the locus control region (LCR). The sequences of the mouse and human #beta#-globin LCRs are homologous, indicating conservation of an essential function in #beta#-globin gene regulation. We have se- quenced regions flanking the #beta#-globin locus in both mouse and human and found that homology associated with the LCR is more extensive than previously known, making up a con- served block of approx=40 kb. In addition, we have identified DNaseI-hypersensitive sites within the newly sequenced re- gions in both mouse and human, and these structural features also are conserved. Finally, we have found that both mouse and human #beta#-globin loci are embedded within an array of odorant receptor genes that are expressed in olfactory epithe- lium, and we also identify an olfactory receptor gene located 3' of the #beta#-globin locus in chicken. The data demonstrate an evolutionarily conserved genomic organization for the #beta#p-glo- bin locus and suggest a possible role for the #beta#-globin LCR in control of expression of these odorant receptor genes and/or the presence of mechanisms to separate regulatory signals in different tissues.
