"We recently discovered a strongly conserved distal 5' [hypoxia response element] HRE and suggested that it might contribute to oxygen-regulated [Erythropoietin] EPO expression.18 This 5' HRE resides within a DNaseI hypersensitive site - 9.2 kb upstream of the EPO transcriptional start site, [WT CATACGTGCAGGGAGACACA], contains both the 5'-ACGTG-3' core [hypoxia-inducible factor] HIF DNA binding site as well as the ancillary 5'-CACA-3' element,11 and confers hypoxia-inducible exogenous reporter gene expression in Epo expressing and non-expressing cell lines.18"[1]

Human genes

Gene expressions

"We have previously shown for PAG1, another HIF-2 target gene, that a single distal - 82 kb 5' HRE resides in an isolated DNA region, bound by many additional transcription factors, and forms multiple chromatin loops both locally and over a long distance with the promoter region.21 While in this case HIF-2α did interact with the HRE, neither hypoxia nor the presence of HIF was needed for the long-range chromatin interaction with the promoter region. Only the presence of the core 5'-ACGTG-3' HIF binding DNA sequence was required to maintain this interaction, suggesting that preformed chromatin loops enable oxygen-regulated conditional gene regulation. This model has subsequently been confirmed for many other HIF target genes by genomewide approaches.38,39 Therefore, the EPO 5' HRE might well be functionally required for hypoxia-inducible gene expression by maintaining a constitutive chromatin architecture that supports promoter activity in a cell type-specific manner. The finding that only additional large but not small 5' HRE deletions fully abrogated endogenous Epo induction and HIF:promoter interaction in 3' HRE mutant Kelly cells suggests that, like in the case of the PAG1 gene, additional transcription factors bind close to the consensus HRE sequence and are involved in chromatin looping and trans-activation of the EPO promoter. We still have no explanation why a small 5' HRE deletion alone inhibited HIF-promoter interaction, but in combination with a 3' HRE mutation partially rescued the inhibitory effect of the 3' HRE mutation. Nonetheless, it is without precedent that the extended 5' HRE strongly cis-enhanced HIF binding to the promoter and 3' HRE."[1]

"Putative EPO promoter HREs. Location of two conserved potential promoter HREs (pHRE1 and pHRE2; [CACGC]) close to the GATA ([GATA]) and [Wilms tumor gene] WT1 ([GCCTCTCCCCCACCCCCACCCGCGCACGCAC]) sites in the EPO proximal 5' region. [For human and other vertebrates] is a UCSC Genome Browser output (version hg19), including 161 transcription factor ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) tracks derived from the ENCODE database (version 3), clusters of DNaseI hypersensitivity sites (HSS) from 125 cell types, and the transcriptional start site (TSS), with a closer view of the region in 50 vertebrates extracted using the 100-MULTIZ whole-genome multiple sequence alignment algorithm."[1]

Hypotheses

  1. A1BG has no regulatory elements in either promoter.
  2. A1BG is not transcribed by a regulatory element.
  3. No regulatory element participates in the transcription of A1BG.

Hypoxia response element Samplings

Copying a responsive elements consensus sequence CACGC and putting the sequence in "⌘F" finds 25 between ZNF497 and A1BG or 8 between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.

For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence CACGC (starting with SuccessablesHYRE.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

  1. negative strand, negative direction, looking for CACGC, 3, CACGC at 2196, CACGC at 447, CACGC at 379.
  2. positive strand, negative direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  3. positive strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  4. negative strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
