p63 induces key target genes required for epidermal morphogenesis.
Mice lacking p63, a single gene that encodes a group of transcription factors that either contain (TA) or lack (DeltaN) a transactivation domain, fail to develop stratified epithelia as well as epithelial appendages and limbs. DeltaNp63 isoforms are predominantly expressed during late embryonic and postnatal epidermal development, however, the function of these proteins remains elusive. Using a...
متن کاملThe role of p63 in epidermal morphogenesis and neoplasia.
The p53 family of transcription factors is made up of p53, p63 and p73, which share significant structural homology. In particular, transcriptional complexity and the expression of multiple protein isoforms are an emergent trait of all family members. p63 is the evolutionarily eldest member of the p53 family and the various isoforms have critical roles in the development of stratifying epitheli...
متن کاملAn integrative approach to identify genes required for morphogenesis
Morphogenesis of the Drosophila embryo requires the three-dimensional organization of populations of cells with characteristic shapes and behaviors that give rise to the adult structure of the animal. Genetic screens have been instrumental in identifying genes that specify cell fate and cell behavior. Many of these include transcription factors that are expressed in precise spatial patterns and...
متن کاملInsulin/IGF-1 Controls Epidermal Morphogenesis via Regulation of FoxO-Mediated p63 Inhibition
The multilayered epidermis is established through a stratification program, which is accompanied by a shift from symmetric toward asymmetric divisions (ACD), a process under tight control of the transcription factor p63. However, the physiological signals regulating p63 activity in epidermal morphogenesis remain ill defined. Here, we reveal a role for insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) in the regula...
متن کاملDown-regulation of p63 is required for epidermal UV-B-induced apoptosis.
In the epidermis, p53 plays an important role in UV-B protection that led us to examine the role, if any, that p63, a p53 homologue highly expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis, might play in the epidermal UV-B response. One p63 isoform, deltaNp63alpha, decreased dramatically in normal keratinocytes or newborn epidermis at both the protein and RNA levels after UV-B irradiation. In an at...
