Abstract excerpt
ER71, also known as ETV2, is an ETS transcription factor that is expressed during embryogenesis and in adult testes. We show that Er71 transcription can be up-regulated by SRY, the key determinant of male differentiation. Accordingly, SRY bound to and activated the Er71 promoter, and mutation of a putative SRY binding site abolished this promoter activation. In turn, ER71 was able to bind to the promoter of Sox9,...
