• The Y-box protein MSY3/Csda represses myogenin transcription in skeletal muscle by binding a highly conserved cis-acting DNA element located just upstream of the myogenin minimal promoter (myogHCE). (biomedcentral.com)
  • Furthermore, Smad proteins, transcriptional effectors of TGF-β signaling, are co-expressed and physically interact in the basal ganglia with Dlx homeodomain transcription factors, which are critical regulators of the differentiation, migration and survival of telencephalic GABAergic neurons.

  • MSY3 (MSY4, YB-2, CSDA, dbpA, ZONAB) is a member of the cold shock domain (CSD) family of proteins also known as Y-box proteins, which are evolutionarily conserved proteins that function as transcription factors and regulators of RNA metabolism and protein synthesis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Transcription factor Sp1, also known as specificity protein 1* is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP1 gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor that binds to GC-rich motifs of many promoters. (wikipedia.org)
  • This gene encodes a transcription factor belonging to a family of proteins that share homology with the high mobility group protein-1. (cancer-genetics.org)
  • The protein encoded by this gene can bind to a functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha enhancer, thereby conferring maximal enhancer activity. (cancer-genetics.org)
  • Here we show that components of both bone morphogenetic protein/growth differentiation factor and TGF-β/activin/Nodal branches of TGF-β superfamily signaling are expressed in the developing subpallium. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Four members of the mouse Dlx protein family (Dlx1, 2, 5 and 6), part of the Antennapedia class of non-Hox homeodomain transcription factors, are expressed in the embryonic subpallium (Panganiban and Rubenstein 2002 ). (biomedcentral.com)
  • We show that a member of the FK506-binding protein family, FKBP8, is an essential antagonist of SHH signaling in CNS development. (silverchair.com)
  • We also show that Dlx and Smad proteins localize to promoters/enhancers of a number of common telencephalic genes in vivo and that Smad proteins co-activate transcription with Dlx family members, except with certain mutated human DLX proteins identified in autistic individuals. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In that regard, recent studies in non-neural cells have suggested the existence of functional interactions between Dlx proteins and Smad transcription factors, which are critical mediators of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily signaling pathways (Chiba et al. (biomedcentral.com)

  • Signaling mechanisms mediated by the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily regulate a variety of developmental processes. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Together, these results suggest that TGF-β superfamily signaling plays a role in telencephalic GABAergic neuron development through functional interactions with Dlx transcription factors. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Data from family studies confirmed familial clustering [3-5]. (springer.com)
  • Once activated, R-Smads accumulate in the nucleus where they associate with Smad4, a common partner for all R-Smads, to form transcription complexes. (biomedcentral.com)
