The Wilms tumor suppressor WT1 regulates early gonad development by activation of Sf1
Open accessAbstract
In mammals, several genes including the Wilms tumor suppressor gene Wt1, the Lim homeobox gene Lhx9, and the gene encoding steroidogenic factor 1 (Sf1) have been implicated in the development of the indifferent gonad prior to sexual differentiation. Interactions among these genes have not yet been elucidated. Using biochemical and genetic experiments, we demonstrate here that WT1 and LHX9 function as direct activators of the Sf1 gene. Interestingly, only the −KTS form of WT1 is able to bind to and transactivate the Sf1 promoter. This observation is consistent with differential roles for the −KTS and +KTS variants of WT1 which have been postulated on the basis of human disorders such as the Frasier syndrome. Our data suggest a pathway in which the products of the Wt1 and Lhx9 genes activate expression of Sf1 and thus mediate early gonadogenesis.

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.
