Transient expression of a winged-helix protein, MNF-beta, during myogenesis.
A novel winged-helix transcription factor, MNF-beta, is expressed coincidentally with cell cycle withdrawal and differentiation of skeletal myogenic cells. MNF-beta is closely related to the myocyte nuclear factor (MNF) protein previously described (now termed MNF-alpha), but expression of the two isoforms is differentially regulated, and they exhibit distinctive functional properties with resp...
متن کاملThe winged-helix/forkhead protein myocyte nuclear factor β (MNF-β ) forms a co-repressor complex with mammalian Sin3B
Winged-helix}forkhead proteins regulate developmental events in both invertebrate and vertebrate organisms, but biochemical functions that establish a mechanism of action have been defined for only a few members of this extensive gene family. Here we demonstrate that MNF (myocyte nuclear factor)-β, a wingedhelix protein expressed selectively and transiently in myogenic precursor cells of the he...
متن کاملWinged helix proteins.
The winged helix proteins constitute a subfamily within the large ensemble of helix-turn-helix proteins. Since the discovery of the winged helix/fork head motif in 1993, a large number of topologically related proteins with diverse biological functions have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy. Recently, a winged helix transcription factor (RFX1) was shown t...
متن کاملFibronectin expression during myogenesis
The biosynthesis and localization of fibronectin during chick muscle differentiation are described. This study employed two monoclonal antibodies, one that selectively killed mononucleated cells and one specific for avian fibronectin. These antibodies allowed precise analyses of fibronectin expression in well-defined cultures of myoblasts or myotubes and avoided the complications of exogenous f...
متن کاملExpression pattern of the winged helix factor XFD-11 during Xenopus embryogenesis
We have identified a cDNA encoding a novel Xenopus winged helix transcription factor termed as XFD-11 (Xenopus fork head domain). The DNA binding domain is most closely related to those of human or murine FREAC-3 (FKHL7/MF-1/FKH-1) proteins. The XFD-11 gene is activated at late blastula/early gastrula and transcription proceeds throughout embryogenesis. Early expression is found in ventral and ...
