High impact information on Zscan21

  • BAC-mediated gene-dosage analysis reveals a role for Zipro1 (Ru49/Zfp38) in progenitor cell proliferation in cerebellum and skin [1].
  • We also show that Zipro1 is expressed in skin, and increased Zipro1 dosage results in a hair-loss phenotype associated with increased epithelial cell proliferation and abnormal hair follicle development [1].
  • We demonstrate a role for the zinc-finger transcription factor Zipro1 (formerly Ru49 and Zfp38) in the proliferation of granule cell precursors in the developing cerebellum, and document the contribution of this process to the final stages of cerebellar morphogenesis [1].
  • Isolation of rhombic lip cells reveals a homogenous population of precursor cells that express general neuronal markers and the granule cell marker RU49, but fail to extend neurites or express differentiation markers [2].
  • The IRES-LacZ marker gene was introduced into a 131 kb BAC containing the murine zinc finger gene, RU49 [3].
 

Biological context of Zscan21

 

Anatomical context of Zscan21

 

Regulatory relationships of Zscan21

  • Thus, RU49 is expressed in the earliest granule cell progenitors at the rhombic lip as they separate from the ventricular zone of the neural tube to generate a secondary proliferative matrix, and it continues to be expressed in differentiating and mature granule neurons [4].
