The immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer is a cis-acting element which activates transcription of nearby genes only in cells of the lymphoid lineage. To identify the minimal sequences necessary to impart cell type transcriptional specificity, we tested the activity of several deletions and internal mutations in the mu enhancer. Experiments involving measurement of both chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity and RNA levels indicated the presence of a dominant repressor element within the mu enhancer. This repressive activity was detected in fibroblasts but not in myeloma cells. Removal or disruption of this repressor element revealed the presence of elements within the mu enhancer that activate transcription in fibroblasts. Thus, enhancer tissue specificity is in part due to the composite of both constitutive activation and cell-type-specific repressive activity. The possible biological roles of this phenomenon are discussed.
