Abstract excerpt
The paired-type homeodomain transcription factor Otx2 is essential for forebrain and eye development. Severe ocular malformations in humans have recently been associated with heterozygous OTX2 mutations. To document the molecular defects in human mutants, Otx2 structural characterization was carried out. A collection of deletion and point mutants was created to perform transactivation, DNA binding, and...
