Developmental and cell type-specific regulation of core promoter transcription factors in germ cells of frogs and mice
LJ Xiao, MJ Kim, J DeJong - Gene Expression Patterns, 2006 - Elsevier
This article reports on the comparative cell type-specific expression profiles of selected core
promoter-associated transcription factors during gametogenesis and embryogenesis in frogs
and mice. In frogs we tested TBP, TRF2/TLF, TRF3, TFIIAαβ, and ALF, as well as variant
forms of TAFs 4, 5, and 6. Four of these factors, TRF3, TAF4L, TAF5L, and the previously-
characterized ALF gene, are preferentially expressed in testis and ovary. In mice we tested
TBP, TRF2/TLF, TRF3, TFIIAαβ, and ALF. The results showed that while ALF was present in …
