In the human ATP2B4 gene, coding for the plasma membrane calcium pump PMCA4b, a minor haplotype results in the decreased expression of this membrane protein in erythroid cells. The presence of this haplotype and the consequently reduced PMCA4b expression have been suggested to affect red blood cell hydration and malaria susceptibility. By using dual-luciferase reporter assays, we have localized the erythroid-specific regulatory region within the haplotype of the ATP2B4 gene, containing predicted ...[more]
