    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    GATA1/ZFPM1/NuRD Pathway implicated in expression of HBG2
    a component
  • heterodimer alpha gamma forming a heterotetramer alpha2 gamma2 in the fetal hemoglobin, A type
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • alpha chain in fetal hemoglobin
  • KLF1 and KLF2 bind directly to the promoters of the HBE1 and HBG1, HBG2 genes
  • BCL11A expression is activated by KLF1, leading to HBG1, HBG2 repression
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated by IKAROS (involved in the regulation of human globin gene switching)
    NuRD complex is required for ZFPM1-dependent activation of adult-type globin gene expression but is dispensable for gamma-globin silencing
