Expression and hormonal regulation of transcription factors GATA-4 and GATA-6 in the mouse ovary.
Two members of the GATA-binding family of transcription factors, GATA-4 and GATA-6, are expressed in the vertebrate ovary. To gain insight into the role of these factors in ovarian cell differentiation and function, we used in situ hybridization to determine the patterns of expression of GATA-4 and GATA-6 in mouse ovary during development and in response to hormonal stimulation. GATA-4 messenge...
متن کاملExpression and regulation of transcription factors GATA-4 and GATA-6 in developing mouse testis.
Previous studies have shown that transcription factors GATA-4 and GATA-6 are expressed in granulosa and thecal cells of the mouse ovary and that GATA-4 expression in ovarian tissue is regulated by gonadotropins. Given the emerging role of GATA-4 and GATA-6 in gonadal cells, we have now studied the expression and regulation of these factors in the mouse testis and testicular cell lines. In situ ...
متن کاملTranscription factors GATA-4 and GATA-6 in normal and neoplastic human gastrointestinal mucosa
BACKGROUND Human gastrointestinal mucosa regenerates vigorously throughout life, but the factors controlling cell fate in mature mucosa are poorly understood. GATA transcription factors direct cell proliferation and differentiation in many organs, and are implicated in tumorigenesis. GATA-4 and GATA-6 are considered crucial for the formation of murine gastrointestinal mucosa, but their role in ...
متن کاملRegulation of Nitrogen Metabolism by GATA Zinc Finger Transcription Factors in Yarrowia lipolytica
Fungi accumulate lipids in a manner dependent on the quantity and quality of the nitrogen source on which they are growing. In the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, growth on a complex source of nitrogen enables rapid growth and limited accumulation of neutral lipids, while growth on a simple nitrogen source promotes lipid accumulation in large lipid droplets. Here we examined the roles of ...
متن کاملAdaptive Evolution in Zinc Finger Transcription Factors
The majority of human genes are conserved among mammals, but some gene families have undergone extensive expansion in particular lineages. Here, we present an evolutionary analysis of one such gene family, the poly-zinc-finger (poly-ZF) genes. The human genome encodes approximately 700 members of the poly-ZF family of putative transcriptional repressors, many of which have associated KRAB, SCAN...
