  • expression level for all five genes (ARGFX, DPRX, LEUTX, TPRX1) crashes after the morula stage, and the genes are not strongly expressed again in embryonic, foetal or adult tissues
  • clearly localised to the nucleus, apart from nucleoli
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
  • LEUTX may have originated by tandem duplication from the CRX gene in the Otx gene family, or from the mammalian TPRX1 gene which itself may have originated from CRX
  • ARGFX, TPRX1 LEUTX, DPRX genes arose by asymmetric evolution from the CRX homeobox gene at the base of eutherian evolution, as part of a dynamic series of duplications
  • ARGFX, LEUTX and TPRX1 regulate a set of developmentally-important genes precisely modulated at the time when the earliest cell fate decisions are made
  • ETCHbox (Eutherian Totipotent Cell Homeobox) gene
  • partial overlap of function between LEUTX and TPRX1
  • PRD-like homeodomain protein implicated in the regulation of human embryo genome activation and preimplantation embryo development

  • LEUTX and TPRX1 genes act on a similar set of genes and genetic pathways between the 4-cell stage and the blastocyst, in an antagonistic manner to the effects of ARGFX
