Abstract excerpt
Sox2, which encodes an SRY-like HMG box transcription factor, is critical for vertebrate development. Sox2 mediates its transcriptional effects through the formation of complexes with specific co-factors, many of which are unknown. In this report, we identify Oct-1, encoded by the Pou2f1 gene, as a co-factor for Sox2 in the context of mouse lens and nasal placode induction. Oct-1, Sox2, and Pax6 are co-expressed...
