Abstract

Activation of the first lens-specific gene of the chicken, δ1-crystallin, is dependent on a group of lens nuclear factors, δEF2, interacting with the δ1-crystallin minimal enhancer, DC5. One of the δEF2 factors was previously identified as SOX2. We show that two related SOX proteins, SOX1 and SOX3, account for the remaining members of δEF2. Activation of the DC5 enhancer is dependent on their C-terminal domains. Expression of Sox1-3 in the eye region during lens induction was studied in comparison with Pax6 and δ?-crystallin. Pax6, known to be required for the inductive response of the ectoderm, is broadly expressed in the lateral head ectoderm from before lens induction. After tight association of the optic vesicle (around stage 10-11, 40 hours after egg incubation), expression of Sox2 and Sox3 is activated in the vesicle-facing ectoderm at stage 12 (44 hours). These cells, expressing together Pax6 and Sox2/3, subsequently give rise to the lens, beginning with formation of the lens placode and expression of δ-crystallin at stage 13 (48 hours). Sox1 then starts to be expessed in the lens-forming cells at stage 14. When the prospective retina area of the neural plate was unilaterally ablated at stage 7, expression of Sox2/3 was lost in the side of lateral head ectoderm lacking the optic cup, implying that an inductive signal from the optic cup activates Sox2/3 expression. In the mouse embryonic lens, this subfamily of Sox genes is expressed in an analogous fashion, although Sox3 transcripts have not been detected and Sox2 expression is down-regulated when Sox1 is activated. In ectodermal tissues of the chicken embryo, δ-crystallin expression occurs in a few ectopic sites. These are always characterized by overlapping expression of Sox2/3 and Pax6. Thus, an essential molecular event in lens induction is the ‘turning on’ of the transcriptional regulators SOX2/3 in the Pax6-expressing ectoderm and these SOX proteins activate crystallin gene expression. Continued activity, especially of SOX1, is then essential for further development of the lens.

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.
