The C. elegans LIM homeobox gene lin-11 specifies multiple cell fates during vulval development [PDF]
LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans, mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage vulval ...

Homeobox oncogene activation by pan-cancer DNA hypermethylation
Cancers have long been recognized to be not only genetically but also epigenetically distinct from their tissues of origin. Although genetic alterations underlying oncogene upregulation have been well studied, to what extent epigenetic mechanisms, such ...

On a model mechanism for the spatial patterning of teeth primordia in the Alligator [PDF]
We propose a model mechanism for the initiation and spatial positioning of teeth primordia in the alligator,Alligator mississippiensis. Detailed embryological studies by Westergaard & Ferguson (1986, 1987, 1990) show that jaw growth plays a crucial role ...

The T-cell oncogenic protein HOX11 activates Aldh1 expression in NIH 3T3 cells but represses its expression in mouse spleen development [PDF]
Hox11 is a homeobox gene essential for spleen formation in mice, since atrophy of the anlage of a developing spleen occurs in early embryonic development in Hox11 null mice.

PAIRED (PRD)-like homeobox genes belong to a class of predicted transcription factor genes. Several of these PRD-like homeobox genes have been predicted in silico from genomic sequence but until recently had no evidence of transcript expression. We found

Modelling the evolution of transcription factor binding preferences in complex eukaryotes [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) exert their regulatory action by binding to DNA with specific sequence preferences. However, different TFs can partially share their binding sequences due to their common evolutionary origin.

Objective. Homeobox genes play a fundamental role in the embryogenesis, but some of them have been linked to oncogenesis. The present study is aimed to investigate the impact of glucose and glutamine deprivations on the expression of homeobox genes such ...

Optimal activation of an endogenous gene by HOX11 requires the NH 2- terminal 50 amine acids [PDF]
The HOX11 homeobox gene was first identified through studies of the t(7;10) and t(10;14) chromosomal translocations of acute T-cell leukemia. In addition, analysis of Hox11(-/-) mice has demonstrated a critical role for this gene in murine spleen ...

Thyroid-specific transcription factors control Hex promoter activity [PDF]
The homeobox-containing gene Hex is expressed in several cell types, including thyroid follicular cells, in which it regulates the transcription of tissue-specific genes. In this study the regulation of Hex promoter activity was investigated.
