Mutation of gene-proximal regulatory elements disrupts human epsilon-, gamma-, and beta-globin expression in yeast artificial chromosome transgenic mice.

abstract：:p21Sdi1 (also known as Cip1 and Waf1), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis cloned from senescent human fibroblasts, is an inhibitor of G1 cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) in vitro and is transcriptionally regulated by wild-type p53. In addition, p21Sdi1 has been found to inhibit DNA replication by direct interaction with pro...
