Figure 8. TBX1 can bind to a TR site in the Otog-MyoD locus.

Figure 8

A: Snapshot from the UCSC genome browser showing the TR site in intron 13 of the Otog gene and 77 kb downstream from the TSS of MyoD. B: EMSA of GST-TBX1 and the TR motif in the Otog-MyoD locus with or without unlabeled TR double stranded oligonucleotide competitor. C: Luciferase reporter assays using the intronic element showed a 2.5 fold increase (Student's t-test, *p<0.05; means ±SD; n≥3) in activation when in the presence of TBX1. D: Expression of MyoD is lost in the 1st pharyngeal arch core mesoderm in Tbx1 -/- embryos at E10.5 (arrow) but it remains in the somites. Forebrain expression in both embryos represents a staining artifact.
