Fig. 8

Tbx20's cardiac expansion activity requires its DNA binding and transcriptional activation domains. (A) Schematic diagram of the Tbx20-GR, Tbx20-?tbx-GR (a T-box-defective form of Tbx20), Tbx20-?act-GR (a transactivation-defective form of Tbx20), Tbx20-?rep-GR (a transrepression-defective form of Tbx20), and TbxVP16-GR (a transactivation-only form of Tbx20) fusion proteins. (B?D) Tbx20-GR-injected embryos treated with DXS have significantly more cardiomyocytes (n=6). (E?G) Tbx20-?tbx-GR overexpression did not significantly enhance cardiomyocyte production (n=6). (H?J) Overexpression of Tbx20-?act-GR did not significantly enhance cardiomyocyte production (n=6). (K?M) Overexpression of Tbx20-?rep-GR significantly increased cardiomyocyte number (n=6). (N?P) Overexpression of TbxVP16-GR significantly increased cardiomyocyte production (n=6). Error bars indicate standard deviations. ns indicates there is no significant difference compared with control embryos. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001).
