Foxn4 directly regulates tbx2b expression and atrioventricular canal formationNeil C Chi
Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Programs in Developmental Biology, Genetics and Human Genetics, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94158, USA
Genes Dev 22:734-9. 2008..sli/foxn4 is expressed in the AV canal, and its encoded product binds to a highly conserved tbx2 enhancer domain that contains Foxn4- and T-box-binding sites, both necessary to regulate tbx2b expression in the AV canal...
Iroquois homeobox gene 3 establishes fast conduction in the cardiac His-Purkinje networkShan Shan Zhang
Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:13576-81. 2011..Irx3 directly represses Cx43 transcription and indirectly activates Cx40 transcription. Our results reveal a critical role for Irx3 in the precise regulation of intercellular gap junction coupling and impulse propagation in the heart...
Limited forward trafficking of connexin 43 reduces cell-cell coupling in stressed human and mouse myocardiumJames W Smyth
Cardiovascular Research Institute, Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, 505 Parnassus Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
J Clin Invest 120:266-79. 2010..We anticipate that protecting the microtubule-based forward delivery apparatus of connexons could improve cell-cell coupling and reduce ischemia-related cardiac arrhythmias...
