The Movl3 allele of the mouse al (I) collagen gene carries a retroviral insert in its first intron
and had been reported to be transcriptionally silent. We have recently shown, however, that …

Cell type-specific differences in the transcriptional control of the mouse gene coding for the
a1 chain of collagen type I (Collal) have been revealed previously with the help of the Movl3 …

In the Mov73 mouse mutant, transcription of the al (l) collagen gene is blocked by a retroviral
insert in the first intron. We now report that teeth derived from homozygous embryos produce …

Collagen al (I) mRNA is composed of two variants of 5 and 6 kb, differing in the length of the
3'untranslated region. In this work, the nucleotide sequences of the two rat mRNA variants …

The regulation aspects of type I and type III collagen gene expression are examined and the
relationships with tooth morphogenesis and differentiation are discussed. Type I and III …

Type I collagen is expressed in a variety of connective tissue cells and its transcriptional
regulation is highly complex because of the influence of numerous developmental …

The chromatin structure of the collagen al (l) gene, which has been mutated by retrovirus
insertion in Movl3 mice, was compared with that of the wildtype allele. Limited digestions …

Collagen gene expression during mouse molar tooth development was studied by
quantitative in situ hybridization techniques. Different expression patterns of type I and type …

The expression of pro-α1 (III) and pro-α1 (I) collagen mRNAs in mouse and human dental
tissues during tooth development and after its completion was analyzed by in situ …

Recent studies have indicated that odontoblasts and osteoblasts have unique regulatory
mechanisms that control COL1A1 gene expression. We are currently examining the …
