Chemical compound and disease context of LBX1

 

Biological context of LBX1

  • PURPOSE: A previous study demonstrated that CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) regulates homeobox Pax6 gene expression in early embryonic stages and plays a dominant role in eye development [19].
  • Altogether, our results strongly suggest the absolute requirement for cooperative events in association with homeobox gene up-regulation to induce T-cell leukemogenesis [20].
  • Deletions of 2q14 that include the homeobox engrailed 1 (EN1) transcription factor are compatible with a normal phenotype [21].
  • The identification of five new genes using a subclass-specific 5' primer, designed from the engrailed and Xanf1 sequences, suggests that there still remain several uncharacterized HB genes in the human genome [22].
  • Within the serial array of vertebrate homeobox genes in the Hox complexes, it is possible to define a subgroup that is structurally homologous to the Drosophila homeotic gene Deformed (Dfd) [23].
 

Anatomical context of LBX1

 

Associations of LBX1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of LBX1

  • Here we show for the first time that SIRT2 interacts with the homeobox transcription factor, HOXA10, which was identified in a two-hybrid screen [33].
  • Previously, we have demonstrated that GBX genes, a homeobox-containing human family of DNA-binding transcription factors consisting of GBX1 and GBX2, are overexpressed in a panel of human prostatic cancer cell lines (ie., TSU-pr1, PC3, DU145, and LNCaP) compared to normal prostate [34].
  • Recently, inappropriate activation of the intestine-specific transcription factor like the homeobox gene complex CDX1 and CDX2 are found to be an important contributing factor in the induction of intestinal metaplasia in the stomach [35].
  • The HOX11 gene encodes a DNA-binding nuclear transcription factor belonging to a distinct family of homeobox genes [36].
  • Homeobox Msx1 interacts with p53 tumor suppressor and inhibits tumor growth by inducing apoptosis [37].
 

Enzymatic interactions of LBX1

  • We show that HOXC13, but not a homeobox-deleted HOXC13, strongly activated the promoters of the genes, with the respective proximal promoter regions being sufficient for optimal activation [38].
  • Our studies of human CFTR transcription focus on identifying transcription factors bound to an inverted CCAAT consensus or "Y-box element." The human homeodomain CCAAT displacement protein/cut homolog (CDP/cut) can bind to the Y-box element through a cut repeat and homeobox [39].
 

Regulatory relationships of LBX1

  • This is the first report of a homeobox gene being specifically regulated by PBX2 and the second report of a vertebrate homeobox target gene of a PBX protein [40].
  • CDX2 is known to regulate class I homeobox genes and its expression in hematopoietic cells may critically alter the balance between differentiation and proliferation [41].
  • These results suggest that MLL fusion proteins impose a reversible block on myeloid differentiation through aberrant activation of a limited set of homeobox genes and Hox coregulators that are consistently expressed in MLL-associated leukemias [42].
  • Multiple copies of the GLUT2TAAT motif were ligated 5' to a heterologous promoter and transfected into a PDX-1-expressing cell line (beta TC3) and into cell lines lacking the homeobox factor (InR1-G9 and JEG-3) [43].
  • The present study examined the effects of SNH on homeobox genes in the colon cancer cell line HT 29 that expresses VIP receptors [44].
 

Other interactions of LBX1

  • This duplicated region contained a disrupted extra copy of the DACTYLIN gene and the entire LBX1 and beta-TRCP genes, known to be involved in limb development [45].
  • Thus, LBX1 and the protooncogene HOX11 map to a common chromosomal region, as do their Drosophila counterparts, the lady bird and 93Bal genes [1].
  • Here, we report the cloning and sequencing of 31 homeobox (HB) sequences, identified using degenerate oligodeoxyribonucleotide primers, in a polymerase chain reaction with cDNA derived from a purified CD34+ population of human haemopoietic cells [22].
  • Haploinsufficiency of the human homeobox gene ALX4 causes skull ossification defects [46].
  • A novel homeobox gene PITX3 is mutated in families with autosomal-dominant cataracts and ASMD [47].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LBX1

  • Homeobox (HOX) 11 and HOX11L2 expression was determined by real-time PCR [48].
  • Immunohistochemistry on appendicular sections after E10.5 demonstrated that Pitx2 neatly marked the areas of muscle anlagen, that Pax3, Lbx1, and the muscle regulatory factors (MRFs) stained only subsets of Pitx2(+) cells within these areas, and that virtually all Pitx2(+) cells in these areas express at least one of these known myogenic markers [49].
  • Gene targeting in mouse embryo-derived stem cells has been used to disrupt the homeobox gene hox-1 [50].
  • Zmhox1a (Zea mays homeobox) is an unidentified maize gene mapping to the long arm of chromosome 8 [51].
  • Sequence analysis and expression patterns divide the maize knotted1-like homeobox genes into two classes [52].
