Abstract

During gastrulation, Hox genes are activated in a time-sequence that follows the order of the genes along their clusters. This property, which is observed in all animals that develop following a progressive rostral-to-caudal morphogenesis, is associated with changes in the chromatin structure and epigenetic profiles of Hox clusters, suggesting a process at least partly based on sequential gene accessibility. Here, we discuss recent work on this issue, as well as a possible mechanism based on the surprising conservation in both the distribution and orientation of CTCF sites inside vertebrate Hox clusters.

依赖于 CTCF 的机制是 Hox 定时器的基础：与分节身体计划的关系

在胚胎发育过程中，Hox 基因按照基因簇的顺序被激活。这一特性在所有按照从喙到尾的渐进形态发生过程发育的动物身上都能观察到，它与Hox基因簇的染色质结构和表观遗传学特征的变化有关，表明这一过程至少部分是基于基因的顺序可及性。在此，我们讨论了有关这一问题的最新研究成果，以及基于脊椎动物 Hox 簇内 CTCF 位点的分布和方向的惊人一致而提出的一种可能机制。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Genetics and Development aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed. In Current Opinion in Genetics and Development we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.[...] The subject of Genetics and Development is divided into six themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: • Cancer Genomics • Genome Architecture and Expression • Molecular and genetic basis of disease • Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution • Cell reprogramming, regeneration and repair • Genetics of Human Origin / Evolutionary genetics (alternate years)
