Spz1, a novel bHLH-Zip protein, is specifically expressed in testis
We isolated a novel bHLH-Zip gene designated Spz1 from a mouse testis cDNA library. Spz1 is expressed specifically in the testis and epididymis. Immunofluorescence staining detected Spz1 protein in the nuclei of LFG6 Leydig cells. The ability of Spz1 protein to bind to the bHLH consensus-binding site, the E-box, was confirmed by EMSA, and a 9-bp asymmetric target site was identified by random s...
متن کاملVITO-1, a novel vestigial related protein is predominantly expressed in the skeletal muscle lineage
In order to identify novel genes expressed in skeletal muscle we performed a subtractive hybridization for genes expressed in human skeletal muscle but not in other tissues. We identified a novel scalloped interaction domain (SID) containing protein in humans and in the mouse, which we named VITO-1. Highest homology of VITO-1 was found with the Drosophila vestigial and the human TONDU proteins ...

متن کاملA twist of insight - the role of Twist-family bHLH factors in development.
Members of the Twist-family of bHLH proteins play a pivotal role in a number of essential developmental programs. Twist-family bHLH proteins function by dimerizing with other bHLH members and binding to cis- regulatory elements, called E-boxes. While Twist-family members may simply exhibit a preference in terms of high-affinity binding partners, a complex, multilevel cascade of regulation creat...
متن کاملIdentification of novel genes including Dermo-1, a marker of dermal differentiation, expressed in trout somitic external cells.
The external cell layer that surrounds the fish primary myotome provides the myogenic precursors necessary for muscle growth, suggesting that this epithelium is equivalent to the amniote dermomyotome. In this study we report the identification of a trout orthologue of the dermal marker Dermo-1, and show that trout somitic external cells, which are all potentially myogenic as indicated by the tr...
