Hox transcription factor ultrabithorax Ib physically and genetically interacts with disconnected interacting protein 1, a double-stranded RNA-binding protein.
The Hox protein family consists of homeodomain-containing transcription factors that are primary determinants of cell fate during animal development. Specific Hox function appears to rely on protein-protein interactions; however, the partners involved in these interactions and their function are largely unknown. Disconnected Interacting Protein 1 (DIP1) was isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen...
متن کاملPhysical and genetic interactions link hox function with diverse transcription factors and cell signaling proteins.
Positional information provided by Hox homeotic transcription factors is integrated with other transcription factors and cell signaling cascades in specific combinations to dictate context- and gene-specific Hox activity. Protein-protein interactions between these groups have long been hypothesized to modulate Hox functions, yielding a context-specific function. However, difficulties in applyin...
متن کاملExtradenticle protein is a selective cofactor for the Drosophila homeotics: role of the homeodomain and YPWM amino acid motif in the interaction.
The Drosophila homeotic selector (HOM) genes encode a family of DNA binding transcription factors that specify developmental fates of different body segments by differentially regulating the activity of downstream target genes. A central question is how the HOM proteins achieve their developmental specificity despite the very similar DNA binding specificities of isolated HOM proteins in vitro. ...
متن کاملCollaboration between Smads and a Hox protein in target gene repression.
Hox proteins control the differentiation of serially iterated structures in arthropods and chordates by differentially regulating many target genes. It is yet unclear to what extent Hox target gene selection is dependent upon other regulatory factors and how these interactions might affect target gene activation or repression. We find that two Smad proteins, effectors of the Drosophila Dpp/TGF-...
متن کاملGenome-level identification of targets of Hox protein Ultrabithorax in Drosophila: novel mechanisms for target selection
Hox proteins are transcription factors and key regulators of segmental identity along the anterior posterior axis across all bilaterian animals. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms by which Hox proteins select and regulate their targets remain elusive. We have carried out whole-genome ChIP-chip experiments to identify direct targets of Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) during haltere deve...
