    Notes: Abstract The distribution of DNase I hypersensitive sites upstream of the chicken α-globin gene cluster was studied. A group of hypersensitive sites with a complex pattern of tissue specificity, including erythroid-specific elements, was found at a distance of 11.5–14.5 kb upstream of the π gene, the first gene in the cluster. The observations indicate that this area, located upstream of the block of AT-rich sequences and MAR sites (at −8 kb) and upstream of the site of permanent DNA attachment to the nuclear matrix (−3 kb), still belongs to the domain of the α-globin genes.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of specific DNA sequence elements in a 2.9 kb HindIII fragment of chicken DNA containing the replication origin and the upstream matrix attachment site (MAR) of the α-globin gene domain was investigated. The fragment was shown to contain a CR1-type repetitive element and two stably bent DNA sequences. One of them colocalizes with the previously described MAR element and with the recognition site for a proliferating-cell-specific, DNA-binding protein. The melting pattern of a set of subfragments of the region proved to be non random. No correlation between the distribution of readily melting sequences and bent DNA was found. The possible importance of curved, low-melting and repetitive DNA sequences for the organization of the upstream boundary of the α-globin gene domain and the function of the replication origin is discussed.
