Lmx1b is the key regulator of DV patterning during limb development as it is both necessary and sufficient to specify dorsal fates, but its regulation remains poorly known. We recently demonstrated a complex autoregulatory mode of transcriptional Lmx1b regulation mediated by two limb-specific enhancers, LARM1 and LARM2. The deletion of both enhancers (dLARM1/2) reproduces the Lmx1b-null phenotype in the limb, while the removal of each enhancer produced a double ventral phenotype restricted to the posterior (dLARM1) or anterior (dLARM2) half of the limb. To investigate the regulatory logic of the Lmx1b locus in detail, we dissected the LARM1 element into its enhancer and silencer sequences and explored the functional contribution of the two Lmx1b-associated lncRNAs. The results confirm the presence of a functional repressor contained in LARM1 and underscore the positional specificity of the LARM sequences. The data suggests that Lmx1b transcription uses different regulatory elements in different positions probably reflecting the integration of the local transcriptional environment. Indeed, published ChIP-seq data showed the Gli3 and Hox13 are significantly enriched in the LARM sequences exposing their interaction with major limb regulators. Finally, considering that the double-ventral limbs of dLARM1/2 mutants fail to support locomotion, even to lift the body weight, we hypothesized that the elaboration of the DV asymmetry by modification of Lmx1b regulation, or its functional targets, had to accompany the fin to limb transition. We have identified orthologs of the LARMs in fishes and all of them show activity in the pectoral fin in zebrafish reporter essays, revealing the deep roots of Lmx1b regulation. | Descripción: | Trabajo presentado en el 19th International Congress of Developmental Biology, celebrado en Guia (Portugal) del 16 al 20 de octubre de 2022. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/303052 |
