Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure describes methods of screening for compounds that disrupt the interaction between DNMT1 and the gamma-globin promoter or between LSD-1 and the gamma-globin promoter. This disclosure describes methods of screening for compounds that de-repress the gamma-globin gene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of screening for compounds that stimulate expression of a gamma-globin gene, wherein said method comprises the steps of: contacting a recombinant non-erythroid host cell with a test compound, wherein the recombinant non-erythroid host cell comprises an exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding a DNA methyltransferase I (DNMT1) polypeptide and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a detectable polypeptide operably linked to a human gamma-globin gene promot…
