... presence of alternative splicingaround the 5¢-end of exon 6 of Meis2 and Meis3 was tested by RT-PCR. The positions of molecular mass markers are shown to the left,and the size in base pairs of the ... However, the activity of the full-length Meis1awas not tested, and on the basis of our work we expectthat its activity would be inhibited by the conservedHth domain. The Meis1a isoform, in which the C-terminal ... independently of Pbx, and does notpossess the autoinhibitory function of the Hth domain.In summary, our data suggest that one function of the conserved Hth domain is to inhibit the activity of the transcriptional...
