A POU-domain transcription factor in early stem cells and germ cells of the mammalian embryo.

TL;DR: The murine oct-3 gene encodes a transcription factor containing a POU-specific domain and a homeodomain, which is expressed in the totipotent and pluripotent stem cells of the pre-gastrulation embryo and is down-regulated during differentiation to endoderm and mesoderm, suggesting that it has a role in early development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Know Your Neighbors: Three Phenotypes in Null Mutants of the Myogenic bHLH Gene MRF4

TL;DR: Until substantially more is understood about cis-regulation over substantial regions of the genome it is prudent to consider these effects in design and in interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Regulatory Networks and Transcriptional Mechanisms that Control Myogenesis

TL;DR: The upstream regulators of myogenesis that lead to the activation of myogenic determination genes and subsequent differentiation, focusing on the mouse model, are discussed, with new insights into mechanisms underlying the transcriptional activity of these factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of myogenin gene expression during the embryonic development of the mouse

TL;DR: It is concluded that the proper regulation of myogenin requires a bHLH protein, most probably Myf-5, the only myogenic b HLH factor known to be present in the embryo at the time thatmyogenin is activated, and an RSRF-like binding activity.
