Collinear Hox-Hox interactions are involved in patterning the vertebrate anteroposterior (A-P) axis
Investigating regulation and function of the Hox genes, key regulators of positional identity in the embryo, opened a new vista in developmental biology. One of their most striking features is collinearity: the temporal and spatial orders of expression of these clustered genes each match their 3' to 5' order on the chromosome. Despite recent progress, the mechanisms underlying collinearity are ...

متن کاملThe regulation of Hox gene expression during animal development.
Hox genes encode a family of transcriptional regulators that elicit distinct developmental programmes along the head-to-tail axis of animals. The specific regional functions of individual Hox genes largely reflect their restricted expression patterns, the disruption of which can lead to developmental defects and disease. Here, we examine the spectrum of molecular mechanisms controlling Hox gene...
متن کاملCharacterization of HOX gene expression during myelopoiesis: role of HOX A5 in lineage commitment and maturation.
During the process of normal hematopoiesis, proliferation is tightly linked to maturation. The molecular mechanisms that lead to production of mature effector cells with a variety of phenotypes and functions from a single multipotent progenitor are only beginning to be elucidated. It is important to determine how these maturation events are regulated at the molecular level, because this will pr...
متن کاملegl-27 generates anteroposterior patterns of cell fusion in C. elegans by regulating Hox gene expression and Hox protein function.
Hox genes pattern the fates of the ventral ectodermal Pn.p cells that lie along the anteroposterior (A/P) body axis of C. elegans. In these cells, the Hox genes are expressed in sequential overlapping domains where they control the ability of each Pn.p cell to fuse with the surrounding syncytial epidermis. The activities of Hox proteins are sex-specific in this tissue, resulting in sex-specific...
