Functional Antagonism between Msx2 and CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Protein α in Regulating the Mouse Amelogenin Gene Expression Is Mediated by Protein-Protein Interaction
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Ameloblast-specific amelogenin gene expression is spatiotemporally regulated during tooth development. In a previous study, the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) was identified as a transcriptional activator of the mouse amelogenin gene in a cell type-specific manner. Here, Msx2 is shown to repress the promoter activity of amelogenin-promoter reporter constructs independent of its intrinsic DNA...
