Expression and Activity of the POU Transcription Factor SCIP

Monuki, Edwin S., Kuhn, Rainer, Weinmaster, Gerry, Trapp, Bruce D., Lemke, Greg·1990·Science

Abstract

POU proteins have been shown to transcriptionally activate cell-specific genes and to participate in the determination of cell fate. It is therefore thought that these proteins function in development through the stable activation of genes that define specific developmental pathways. Evidence is provided here for an alternative mode of action. The primary structure of SCIP, a POU protein expressed by developing Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, was deduced and SCIP activity was studied. Both in normal development and in response to nerve transection, SCIP expression was transiently activated only during the period of rapid cell division that separates the premyelinating and myelinating phases of Schwann cell differentiation. In cotransfection assays, SCIP acted as a transcriptional repressor of myelin-specific genes.

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.
