QRX, a novel homeobox gene, modulates photoreceptor gene expression.
A novel paired-like homeobox gene, designated as Qrx, was identified by a yeast one-hybrid screen using the bovine Rhodopsin promoter Ret-1 DNA regulatory element as bait. Qrx is preferentially expressed in both the outer and inner nuclear layers of the retina. Its homeodomain is nearly identical to that of Rx/Rax, a transcription factor that is essential for eye development, but it shares only...
متن کاملAn unexpected switch: regulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation by the homeobox gene meis1.
T he mammalian heart has a limited capacity for regeneration after damage. In contrast, teleost fish and urodelian amphibians readily regenerate even large cardiac defects. One of the central differences between species capable and incapable of efficient heart regenera-tion is the ability to reinitiate cardiomyocyte proliferation. The importance of cardiomyocyte proliferation for heart regenera...
متن کاملThe Homeobox Gene MEIS1 Is Methylated in BRAFp.V600E Mutated Colon Tumors
Development of colorectal cancer (CRC) can occur both via gene mutations in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, as well as via epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation. Site-specific methylation in CRC regulates expression of tumor-associated genes. Right-sided colon tumors more frequently have BRAF (p.V600E) mutations and have higher methylation grades when compared to left-sided malign...
متن کاملMeis1, a PBX1-related homeobox gene involved in myeloid leukemia in BXH-2 mice.
Leukemia results from the accumulation of multiple genetic alterations that disrupt the control mechanisms of normal growth and differentiation. The use of inbred mouse strains that develop leukemia has greatly facilitated the identification of genes that contribute to the neoplastic transformation of hematopoietic cells. BXH-2 mice develop myeloid leukemia as a result of the expression of an e...
متن کاملHop Is an Unusual Homeobox Gene that Modulates Cardiac Development
Hop is a small, divergent homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. Hop gene expression initiates early in cardiogenesis and continues in cardiomyocytes throughout embryonic and postnatal development. Genetic and biochemical data indicate that Hop functions directly downstream of Nkx2-5. Inactivation of Hop in mice by homologous recombination results in...
