AbstractThe spatial regulation of combinatorial expression of Hox genes is critical for determining hindbrain rhombomere (r) identities. To address the cross-regulatory relationship between Hox genes in hindbrain neuronal specification, we have generated a gain-of-function transgenic mouse mutant Hoxb3 Tg using the Hoxb2 r4-specific enhancer element. Interestingly, in r4 of the Hoxb3 Tg mutant where Hoxb3 was ectopically expressed, the expression of Hoxb1 was specifically abolished. The hindbrain neuronal defects of the Hoxb3 Tg mutant mice were similar to those of Hoxb1 -/- mutants. Therefore, we hypothesized that Hoxb3 could directly suppress Hoxb1 expression. We first identified a novel Hoxb3 binding site S3 on the Hoxb1 locus and confirmed protein binding to this site by EMSA, and by in vivo ChIP analysis using P19 cells and hindbrain tissues from the Hoxb3 Tg mutant. We further showed that Hoxb3 could suppress Hoxb1 transcriptional activity by chick in ovo luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, in E10.5 wildtype caudal hindbrain, where Hoxb1 is not expressed, we showed by in vivo ChIP that Hoxb3 was consistently bound to the S3 site on the Hoxb1 gene. This study reveals a novel negative regulatory mechanism by which Hoxb3 as a posterior gene serves to restrict Hoxb1 expression in r4 by direct transcriptional repression to maintain the rhombomere identity. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
