The SOX proteins belong to the superfamily of transcription factors (TFs) that display
properties of both classical TFs and architectural components of chromatin. Since the …

How have animals evolved new body designs (morphological evolution)? This requires
explanations both for simple morphological changes, such as differences in pigmentation …

NF‐YA is considered as a crucial regulator for the maintenance of cancer stem cell (CSC)
and involved in various types of malignant tumours. However, the exact function and …

The transcriptional regulation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) is of great interest in
neural development and stem cell biology. The RNA-binding protein Musashi1 (Msi1), which …

Sox3/SOX3 [SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 3] is considered to be one of the earliest
neural markers in vertebrates, playing a role in specifying neuronal fate. We have previously …

We used zebrafish as a model to study the biological functions of NF-YB during early
development. Both RT-PCR and whole-mount in situ hybridization experiments revealed …

In Ustilago maydis the pheromone signal is transmitted via a mitogen‐activated protein
kinase (MAP kinase) module to the transcription factor Prf1. Prf1 activates transcription of a …

Sox3, which belongs to the SoxB1 subgroup, plays major roles in neural and gonadal
development. In the present study, Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus sox3 gene …

Sox3/SOX3 gene is considered to be one of the earliest neural markers in vertebrates and it
is implicated in the genetic cascades that direct brain formation. We have previously shown …

Sox3/SOX3 is one of the earliest neural markers in vertebrates. Together with the
Sox1/SOX1 and Sox2/SOX2 genes it is implicated in the regulation of stem cell identity. In …
