Genetic interactions between Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 reveal new roles in regulation of early hindbrain patterning.
Development 125, 1025-1036 (1998)
In the developing vertebrate hindbrain Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 play important roles in patterning segmental units (rhombomeres). In this study, genetic analysis of double mutants demonstrates that both Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 participate in the establishment and maintenance of Hoxb1 expression in rhombomere 4 through auto- and para-regulatory interactions. The generation of a targeted mutation in a Hoxb1 3' retinoic acid response element (RARE) shows that it is required for establishing early high levels of Hoxb1 expression in neural ectoderm. Double mutant analysis with this Hoxb1(3'RARE) allele and other targeted loss-of-function alleles from both Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 reveals synergy between these genes. In the absence of both genes, a territory appears in the region of r4, but the earliest r4 marker, the Eph tyrosine kinase receptor EphA2, fails to be activated. This suggests a failure to initiate rather than maintain the specification of r4 identity and defines new roles for both Hoxb1 and Hoxa1 in early patterning events in r4. Our genetic analysis shows that individual members of the vertebrate labial-related genes have multiple roles in different steps governing segmental processes in the developing hindbrain.
