Abstract

By analysis of cDNA clones that cross-hybridized with a portion of the cDNA encoding the recently described rat protein hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 alpha (HNF-3 alpha, previously called HNF-3A), we now describe two additional members, HNF-3 beta and HNF-3 gamma, of this gene family. A 110-amino-acid region in the DNA-binding domain of this family is not only very highly conserved in rodents (HNF-3 alpha, -3 beta, and -3 gamma are identical in 93 of 110 amino acids in this region) but also in Drosophila where the homeotic gene fork head has 88 of the 93 residues that are identical in the three rat genes. The HNF-3 family in rodents is expressed in cells that derive from the lining of the primitive gut; some of the embryonic Drosophila cells in which fork head is expressed also give rise to gut and salivary glands. Thus, it appears that this gene family, the DNA-binding portion of which is unlike that of any previously recognized DNA-binding proteins, may contribute to differentiation of cells in internal organs in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

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.
