    EMBO J 17:5718-33. 1998
    ..Our data suggest that L-Sox5/Sox6 and Sox9, which belong to two different classes of Sox transcription factors, cooperate with each other in expression of Col2a1 and possibly other genes of the chondrocytic program...
  2. ncbi The transcription factors L-Sox5 and Sox6 are essential for cartilage formation
    P Smits
    Department of Molecular Genetics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030, USA
    Dev Cell 1:277-90. 2001
    ..L-Sox5 and Sox6 are thus redundant, potent enhancers of chondroblast functions, thereby essential for endochondral skeleton formation...

    G Zhou
    Department of Molecular Genetics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
    J Biol Chem 273:14989-97. 1998
    ..Overall our results suggest a model whereby both Sox9 and these other proteins bind to several HMG-like sites in the Col2a1 gene to cooperatively control its expression in cartilage...

    Mol Cell Biol 16:4512-23. 1996
