The most upstream hypersensitive site (HS) of the
 -globin locus control region (LCR) in humans (5
HS 5) and chickens (5 HS 4) can act as an insulating element in
some gain of function assays and may demarcate a -globin domain. We
have mapped the most upstream HSs of the mouse -globin LCR and
sequenced this region. We find that mice have a region homologous to
human 5 HS 5 that is associated with a minor HS. In addition we
map a unique HS upstream of 5 HS 5 and refer to this novel site
as mouse 5 HS 6. We have also generated mice containing a
targeted deletion of the region containing 5 HS 5 and 6. We find
that after excision of the selectable marker in vivo, deletion of
5 HS 5 and 6 has a minimal effect on transcription and does not prevent formation of the remaining LCR HSs. Taken together these findings suggest that the most upstream HSs of the mouse -globin LCR
are not necessary for maintaining the -globin locus in an active
configuration or to protect it from a surrounding repressive chromatin
environment.
