It has been shown previously that the transcription factor Mash-1 plays a significant role in mammalian neurogenesis. In the present study we show that Mash-1 is expressed during rat retinal development and that it interacts specifically with an E-box identified in the promoter of the opsin gene during rod photoreceptor differentiation. We propose that opsin may be one of the downstream neuronal genes regulated by Mash-1 during neurogenesis in the central nervous system.
先前的研究表明,转录因子Mash-1在哺乳动物神经发生中起重要作用。在本研究中,我们发现Mash-1在大鼠视网膜发育过程中表达,并且在视杆光感受器分化过程中,它与视蛋白基因启动子中鉴定出的一个E盒特异性相互作用。我们提出,视蛋白可能是中枢神经系统神经发生过程中受Mash-1调控的下游神经元基因之一。
