Here, we have analyzed the role of 5 9HS5 in the three dimensional organization of the b-gene locus using the Chromatin Conformation Capture (3C) technique. The results show that when 5 9HS5 is deleted from the locus, both remote and internal regulatory elements are still able to interact with each other in a three-dimensional configuration termed the Active Chromatin Hub. Thus, the absence of 5 9HS5 does not have an appreciable effect on the three dimensional organization of the b-globin locus. This rules out models in which 5 9HS5 nucleates interactions with remote and/or internal regulatory elements. We also determined the binding of CTCF, the only defined insulator protein in mammalian cells, to 5 9HS5 by using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. We detect low levels of CTCF binding to 5 9HS5 in primitive erythroid cells, in which it functions as a border element. Surprisingly, we also observe binding levels of CTCF to 5 9HS5 in definitive erythroid cells. Thus, binding of CTCF to 5 9HS5 per se does not render it a functional border element. This is consistent with the previous data suggesting that CTCF has dual functionality. |\n| --- |\n| Citation: Chan PK, Wai A, Philipsen S, Tan-Un K-C (2008) 5 9HS5 of the Human b-globin Locus Control Region Is Dispensable for the Formation of the b-globin\u003Cbr>Active Chromatin Hub.
