## Abstract We have studied the effect of siteβspecific cytosine methylation on the binding of nuclear proteins to the Ξ³βglobin promoter region from β71 to β34. This sequence was recently shown to contain a stage selector element responsible for increased transcription from the Ξ³ compared to the Ξ²
During spermiogenesis, the haploid phase of spermatogenesis, the genome is packaged into a highly compacted form and this process requires replacement of histones by protamines. In the mouse, protamines are encoded by two genes, which are transcriptionally regulated in testis. To understand the regu
