Abstract

Deletion of sequences 5' of the human red and green pigment gene array results in blue cone monochromacy, a disorder in which both red and green cone function are absent. To test whether these sequences are required for transcription of the adjacent visual pigment genes in cone photoreceptors, we produced transgenic mice carrying sequences upstream of the red and green pigment genes fused to a beta-galactosidase reporter. The patterns of transgene expression indicate that the human sequences direct expression to both long and short wave-sensitive cones in the mouse retina and that a region between 3.1 kb and 3.7 kb 5' of the red pigment gene transcription initiation site is essential for expression. Sequences within this region are highly conserved among humans, mice, and cattle, even though the latter two species have only a single visual pigment gene at this locus. These experiments suggest a model in which an interaction between the conserved 5' region and either the red or the green pigment gene promoter determines which of the two genes a given cone expresses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
