β¦ Synopsis
Thyroid C cells are neural crestcitonin and serotonin were still expressed in cultured derived neuroendocrine cells that can acquire features mature C cells that no longer express MASH-1, demsimilar to serotonergic neurons. Based on developmental and phenotypic markers, we have previously onstrating that MASH-1 is not directly required for proposed that C cells and serotonergic enteric neurons the expression of these two markers. Hence, MASHarise from a common sympathoadrenal progenitor. In 1 is required to establish the C-cell phenotype and this report, we genetically examined this relationship supports the model that C cells lie in the neuronal using mice lacking the mammalian achaete-scute differentiation pathway of the sympathoadrenal homologue 1 (MASH-1) transcription factor, since neural crest. α§ 1998

HES-1 is a vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein Hairy, a transcriptional repressor that negatively regulates neuronal differentiation. HES-1 expression in neuronal precursors precedes and represses the expression of the neuronal commitment gene MASH-1, a bHLH
High-affinity iron uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves the extracytoplasmic reduction of ferric ions by FRE1 and FRE2 reductases. Ferrous ions are then transported across the plasma membrane through the FET3 oxidase-FTR1 permease complex. Expression of the high-affinity iron uptake genes is
## Abstract Neurogenesis is promoted by basic helixβloopβhelix (bHLH) transcription factors Mash1, Math1, or NeuroD but suppressed by another set, Hes1 and Hes5. It remains unknown what kinds of extracellular signals are involved in their regulation; therefore, the effects of neurotrophins on the e
The transcription factor Sp1 plays an important role in the expression of many cellular genes. In studies of proteins that associate with Sp1, a 62-kDa glycoprotein was found in immunoprecipitates of Sp1. This protein was detected in these immunoprecipitates by the monoclonal antibody, RL2, which wa
