Targets of the transcription factor Brachyury in differentiating mouse ES cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Brachyury (or T) is expressed in the primitive streak, tailbud and notochord of the early mouse embryo (Herrmann et al., 1990; Wilkinson et al., 1990). It plays a key role in early development: mouse embryos lacking functional Brachyury protein fail to gastrulate properly, do not form a differentiated notochord, and lack structures posterior to somite seven (Chesley, 1935; Dobrovolskaïa-Zavadskaïa, 1927; Naiche et al., 2005; Wilson et al., 1995; Wilson et al., 1993; Yanagisawa et al., 1981) We apply a ChIP-on-chip approach to identify targets of Brachyury during mouse ES cell differentiation. ES cells provide an abundant source of differentiating cells and the identification of Brachyury targets in such cells will shed light on the mechanisms of ES cell differentiation and, by analyzing the targets in the developing embryo, will reveal to what extent they provide a bone fide model of early mouse development.
