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 …

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 …

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 …

Mouse embryos homozygous for the Mov-13 mutation produce no collagen I, owing to
transcriptional blockage of the collagen alpha 1 (I) gene by a retroviral insert. Fibroblast-like …

Isolation and characterization of the mouse gene for the α1 chain of type XV collagen
(Col15a1) revealed it to be approximately 110 kb in length and contain 40 exons. Analysis of …

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 …

The collagen I-deficient mouse mutant (Mov13—an embryonic recessive lethal) was used to
investigate the function of this major constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in organ …

Previous deletion studies using a series of COL1A1‐CAT fusion genes have indicated that
the 625 bp region of the COL1A1 upstream promoter between‐2295 and‐1670 bp is …

Sp7/Osterix, a transcription factor whose expression is restricted in osteoblasts, belongs to
the Sp family of transcription factor that bind to G/C-rich sequences. Previous studies have …
