A partner evokes latent differences between Hox proteins

Aseem Z Ansari et al. Cell. .

Abstract

Hox transcription factors bind highly related DNA sequences in vitro, yet they regulate different genes and play distinct roles in anterior-posterior patterning in animals. Slattery et al. report that a common cofactor, Exd, accentuates latent sequence specificities of all eight Hox proteins and directs binding to relevant sites across the genome.
