A New Hypersensitive Site, HS10, and the Enhancers, E3′ and Ed, Differentially Regulate Igκ Gene Expression

The mouse Igκ gene locus has three known transcriptional enhancers: an intronic enhancer (Ei), a 3′ enhancer (E3′), and a further downstream enhancer (Ed). We previously discovered, using the chromosome conformation-capture technique, that Ei and E3′ interact with a novel DNA sequence near the 3′ end of the Igκ locus, specifically in B cells. In the present investigation, we examined the function of this far downstream element. The sequence is...
