Functional characterization of the 5'-regulatory region of the human factor IX gene was carried out by a series of gene dissection analyses. The region extending from -175 to -274 of the 5' end flanking sequence is required for the expression of this gene. Within this region, sequence elements AGCCACT at -238 and TCAAAT at -187 were assigned as the functional CAAT box and TATA box, respectively. The transcription initiation site was found to be at -150 for the factor IX chloramphenicol acetyltransferase chimeric gene. A negative regulatory (silencer) activity was located in the region spanning from 1.4 to 1.7 kilobases upstream of the promoter region. This region contains a short sequence element (ATCCTCTCC) known to have such activity. A strong promoter on the opposite strand was also located about 500 base pairs upstream of the promoter. The expression of factor IX gene was highly liver specific, as assessed by Northern blot analysis. Short sequence elements (TGGACC and CTTTGGACT) homologous to the known liver-specific elements were located in the vicinity of the defined promoter region.
