Dissection of a Krox20 positive feedback loop driving cell fate choices in hindbrain patterning
Although feedback loops are essential in development, their molecular implementation and precise functions remain elusive. Using enhancer knockout in mice, we demonstrate that a direct, positive autoregulatory loop amplifies and maintains the expression of Krox20, a transcription factor governing vertebrate hindbrain segmentation. By combining quantitative data collected in the zebrafish with b...
متن کاملHindbrain patterning: Krox20 couples segmentation and specification of regional identity.
We have previously demonstrated that inactivation of the Krox20 gene led to the disappearance of its segmental expression territories in the hindbrain, the rhombomeres (r) 3 and 5. We now performed a detailed analysis of the fate of prospective r3 and r5 cells in Krox20 mutant embryos. Genetic fate mapping indicates that at least some of these cells persist in the absence of a functional Krox20...
متن کاملNeural crest patterning: autoregulatory and crest-specific elements co-operate for Krox20 transcriptional control.
Neural crest patterning constitutes an important element in the control of the morphogenesis of craniofacial structures. Krox20, a transcription factor gene that plays a critical role in the development of the segmented hindbrain, is expressed in rhombomeres (r) 3 and 5 and in a stream of neural crest cells migrating from r5 toward the third branchial arch. We have investigated the basis of the...

Although many components of the genetic pathways that provide positional information during embryogenesis have been identified, it remains unclear how these signals are integrated to specify discrete tissue territories. Here, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of one of the hindbrain segments, rhombomere (r) 3, specified by the expression of the gene krox20. Dissec...
متن کاملKrox20 hindbrain cis-regulatory landscape: interplay between multiple long-range initiation and autoregulatory elements.
The vertebrate hindbrain is subject to a transient segmentation process leading to the formation of seven or eight metameric territories termed rhombomeres (r). This segmentation provides the basis for the subsequent establishment of hindbrain neuronal organization and participates in the patterning of the neural crest involved in craniofacial development. The zinc-finger gene Krox20 is express...
