Strict regulations of the Gata1 and Gata2 genes are critical for proper lineage commitment
and development of erythroid cells. It has been shown in transgenic mouse analyses that cis-
acting GATA binding motifs are critical for the expression of Gata1 and Gata2 genes.
Furthermore, expression of Gata1 and Gata2 genes along with a set of erythroid genes
appeared to be regulated by GATA factor switching.
