Abstract excerpt
Sox9 is a transcription factor that is critical for chondrogenesis, testis determination, and development of several other organs in vertebrates. Thus the levels of Sox9 protein and its activity may be tightly regulated. Here we show that inhibitors of the 26S proteasome increase both the levels of Sox9 protein and its transcriptional activity measured with Col2a1 promoter/enhancer construct in RCS cells and...
