Several mutations in MFCS1 induce ectopic Shh expression in the anterior limb bud, and these result in preaxial polydactyly (PPD). However, the molecular basis of ectopic Shh expression remains elusive, although some mutations are known to disrupt the negative regulation of Shh expression in the anterior limb bud. Here, we analyzed the molecular mechanism of ectopic Shh expression in PPD including in a mouse mutation\u2014hemimelic extra toes (Hx)\u2014and in other MFCS1 mutations in different species. First, we generated transgenic mouse lines with a LacZ reporter cassette flanked with tandem repeats of 40 bp MFCS1 fragments harboring a mutation. The transgenic mouse line with the Hx-type fragment showed reporter expression exclusively in the anterior, but not in the posterior margins of limb buds. In contrast, no specific LacZ expression was observed in lines carrying the MFCS1 fragment with other mutations. Yeast one-hybrid assays revealed that the msh-like homeodomain protein, MSX1, bound specifically to the Hx sequence of MFCS1. Thus, PPD caused by mutations in MFCS1 has two major types of molecular etiology: loss of a cis-motif for negative regulation of Shh, and acquisition of a new cis-motif binding to a preexisting transcription factor, as represented by the Hx mutation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1534\/g3.117.044669","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,15]],"date-time":"2017-07-15T01:10:29Z","timestamp":1500081029000},"page":"2991-2998","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Two Types of Etiological Mutation in the Limb-Specific Enhancer of<i>Shh<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Takanori","family":"Amano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mammalian Genetics Laboratory, Genetic Strains Research Center, National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Shizuoka 411-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoko","family":"Sagai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mammalian Genetics Laboratory, Genetic Strains Research Center, National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Shizuoka 411-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryohei","family":"Seki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mammalian Genetics Laboratory, Genetic Strains Research Center, National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Shizuoka 411-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshihiko","family":"Shiroishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mammalian Genetics Laboratory, Genetic Strains Research Center, National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Shizuoka 411-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021042012425534900_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0004.2010.01465.x","article-title":"Identification of two novel mutations in Shh long-range regulator associated with familial pre-axial polydactyly.","volume":"79","author":"Albuisson","year":"2011","journal-title":"Clin.
