Direct interaction with Hoxd proteins reverses Gli3-repressor function to promote digit formation downstream of Shh.
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling regulates both digit number and identity, but how different distinct digit types (identities) are specified remains unclear. Shh regulates digit formation largely by preventing cleavage of the Gli3 transcription factor to a repressor form that shuts off expression of Shh target genes. The functionally redundant 5'Hoxd genes regulate digit pattern downstream of Shh...
متن کاملSost and its paralog Sostdc1 coordinate digit number in a Gli3-dependent manner☆
WNT signaling is critical in most aspects of skeletal development and homeostasis, and antagonists of WNT signaling are emerging as key regulatory proteins with great promise as therapeutic agents for bone disorders. Here we show that Sost and its paralog Sostdc1 emerged through ancestral genome duplication and their expression patterns have diverged to delineate non-overlapping domains in most...
متن کاملSuppressor of Fused Is Required for Determining Digit Number and Identity via Gli3/Fgfs/Gremlin
The anterior-posterior patterning of the vertebrate limb bud requires closely coordinated signaling interactions, including Sonic Hedgehog (Shh)-mediated counteraction of the Gli3 transcription factor in the distal and posterior mesenchyme of the limb bud. Suppressor of Fused (Sufu), an intracellular negative regulator of Shh signaling via Gli2 and Gli3, is implicated in early development of th...
متن کاملGli3 (Xt) and formin (ld) participate in the positioning of the polarising region and control of posterior limb-bud identity.
During initiation of limb-bud outgrowth in vertebrate embryos, the polarising region (limb-bud organizer) is established upon activation of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling molecule at the posterior limb-bud margin. Another hallmark of establishing anteroposterior limb-bud identities is the colinear activation of HoxD genes located at the 5' end of the cluster (5'HoxD genes). The unique and s...
متن کاملBreakpoints around the HOXD cluster result in various limb malformations.
BACKGROUND Characterisation of disease associated balanced chromosome rearrangements is a promising starting point in the search for candidate genes and regulatory elements. METHODS We have identified and investigated three patients with limb abnormalities and breakpoints involving chromosome 2q31. Patient 1 with severe brachydactyly and syndactyly, mental retardation, hypoplasia of the cereb...
