Mkx-binding sites within the Sox6 locus. Mkx (ATGTT-N11-AACAT)- and Irx (ACAnnTGT)-binding sites were identified in the locus of Sox6. A, EMSAs demonstrate that MT-Mkx-VP16 can physically interact with the Sox6 MBS and IBS sequences in vitro. B, cell-based luciferase assays demonstrate that these sequences are responsive to MT-Mkx-VP16 activation and are dependent upon sequences within Helix III of the homeodomain (MT-Mkx(ΔH3)-VP16) and CD-A (MT-Mkx(ΔCDA)-VP16). An activated form of mouse Irx2 (HA-Irx2-VP16) could only regulate the Sox6 IBS.
