L-Sox5 and Sox6 Proteins Enhance Chondrogenic miR-140 MicroRNA Expression by Strengthening Dimeric Sox9 Activity
1 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Sox9 plays a critical role in early chondrocyte initiation and promotion as well as repression of later maturation. Fellow Sox family members L-Sox5 and Sox6 also function as regulators of cartilage development by boosting Sox9 activation of chondrocyte-specific genes such as Col2a1 and Agc1; however, the regulatory mechanism and other target genes are largely unknown. MicroRNAs are a class of short, non-coding...
