A Simple Repeat Polymorphism in the MITF-M Promoter Is a Key Regulator of White Spotting in Dogs

Baranowska Körberg, Izabella; Sundström, Elisabeth; Meadows, Jennifer R. S.; Rosengren Pielberg, Gerli; Gustafson, Ulla; Hedhammar, Åke; Karlsson, Elinor K.; Seddon, Jennifer; Söderberg, Arne; Vilà, Carles; Zhang, Xiaolan; Åkesson, Mikael; Lindblad-Toh, Kerstin; Andersson, Göran; Andersson, Leif (Public Library of Science, 2014)

The white spotting locus (S) in dogs is colocalized with the MITF (microphtalmia-associated transcription factor) gene. The phenotypic effects of the four S alleles range from solid colour (S) to extreme white spotting ...

ZBED6 Modulates the Transcription of Myogenic Genes in Mouse Myoblast Cells

Jiang, Lin; Wallerman, Ola; Younis, Shady; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Gilbert, Elizabeth R.; Sundström, Elisabeth; Ghazal, Awaisa; Zhang, Xiaolan; Wang, Li; Mikkelsen, Tarjei S.; Andersson, Göran; Andersson, Leif (Public Library of Science, 2014)

ZBED6 is a recently discovered transcription factor, unique to placental mammals, that has evolved from a domesticated DNA transposon. It acts as a repressor at the IGF2 locus. Here we show that ZBED6 acts as a transcriptional ...
