Cooperative Interactions between RUNX2 and Homeodomain Protein-binding Sites Are Critical for the Osteoblast-specific Expression of the Bone Sialoprotein Gene
7 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
The bone sialoprotein (Bsp) gene provides an excellent model for studying mechanisms controlling osteoblast-specific gene expression. Although the RUNX2 transcription factor directly regulates many osteoblast-related genes, its function in Bsp expression remains uncertain. By using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis in MC3T3-E1 (clone MC-4) preosteoblast cells, RUNX2 was shown to bind a chromatin...
