Retinoic acid receptor-α | 20 | ||
Thyroid hormone receptor-α | 20 | ||
Retinoid X receptor-α | Physical | COUP-TFs are able to sequester the common heterodimerization partner RXR and reduce the available concentrations of RXR. The loss of RXR indirectly decreases the DNA-binding affinity of TR, VDR, RAR, and PPAR and thereby interferes with the potential of this subgroup of receptors to transactivate their target genes. | 4,11,42 |
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4-α | Physical, Functional | COUP-TF interact both functionally and physically with the NRs HNF4. COUP-TFs have been shown to inhibit the transactivation of HNF4 due to mutually exclusive binding to the promoter of many genes. In addition, COUP-TF activates transcription through protein-protein interaction with DNA-bound factor, such as with HNF-4 in the HNF-1a gene promoter. Similar mechanism are observed for other transcription factor (Sp1). | 13,32,38 |
ZFPM2 | Physical, Functional | The carboxyl terminus of the COUP-TF proteins interacts with multiple FOG2 zinc finger and FOG-2 serves as a co-repressor for COUP-TFII. | 9 |

Main Target Genes Comments | |||||
Recently, growing evidences suggest critical roles of COUP-TF transcriptional factors in driving stem/progenitor cell self-renewal, lineage specification, differentiation, and cell identity in diverse tissue types. First, COUP-TFs are part of the regulatory circuitry maintaining embryonic stem cell properties. COUP-TFs profoundly interact with key pluripotency factors including Oct4, microRNA-302 and ploycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) to control stem cell reprogramming and differentiation [8,16,31]. Given the universal expression of COUP-TFII in the mesenchymal compartment in multiple organs, it is not surprising to find that COUP-TFII is indispensable for appropriate mesoderm tissue formation. Inactivation of COUP-TFII in mesenchymal progenitors favors osteoblast and myoblast differentiation, while impairing adipogenic and chrogenic programs [18,21,45]. Additionally, COUP-TFII is required for metanephric mesenchyme development as ablation of COUP-TFII in kidney precursor cells results in the absence of metanephric mesenchyme and the misexpression of key nephrogenic factors, including Eya1, Pax2, Six2 and Gdnf [48]. Moreover, COUP-TFII also controls lymphatic cell identity. Loss of COUP-TFII at early stage disrupts the formation of lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) progenitors, and cause LEC identity switch as mutant LEC gain some features of blood endothelial cell [22]. Further studies demonstrate that COUP-TFII directly binds to a conserved site in the Prox1 regulatory region, and interaction between COUP-TFII and Prox1 is required to maintain Prox1 expression in LEC population [35]. Finally, COUP-TFII regulatory network specify atrial identity and cardiomyocyte-specific COUP-TFII deletion produces ventricularized atria by controlling the expression of atrial-ventricular identity genes such as Tbx5, Hey2, Irx4, MLC2v, MLC2a, and MLC1a [44]. |
Tissue Distribution Comments | |
In the mouse COUP-TFII gene generate a transcript of 4.5 kb found in all tissues examined. COUP-TFII expression is similar to the one of COUP-TFI in the sense that it exhibit a complex expression pattern in the CNS and a broad expression in other tissues. The beginning of the expression at 7.5 dpc is identical to the one of COUP-TFI. A segmented expression in the diencephalic neuromeres was also found but the specific set of neuromeres in which COUP-TFII are different, although overlapping with COUP-TFI. In the hindbrain, the specific rhombomeres in which the genes are expressed are also distinct. In the neural tube the expression is restricted to the motorneurons.The levels of COUP-TFII expression are in general higher than the one of COUP-TFI especially in salivary gland, lung, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, prostate. It is also found at lower levels in testes, ovary, retina, skin, inner ear or limb bud. The expression in the mesenchymal portion of places were mesenchyme-epithelial interactions occurs was also found. In the adult the expression is also higher to the one of COUP-TFI in supraoptic nucleus. COUP-TFII was shown to be regulated by all-trans retinoic acid in the neural tube. In addition a regulation of COUP-TFII by Sonic hedgehog has been found by Tsai group [15,24]. |

Homozygous mutants die around embryonic day 10 whereas two-third of heterozygous animals die during the first weeks of life. Examination of the homozygous embryos show that they are growth retarded with severe haemorrhage and oedema just before death. Histological analysis revealed enlarged blood vessels, lack of normal heart development and malformed cardinal veins. The vascular system exhibit a decrease in the complexity of the microvasculature in the head and spine regions suggesting that vasculogenesis (i.e. de novo formation of blood vessels from mesodermal precursor cells) and vascular remodelling (conversion of the primary capillaries of the plexus into large and small vessels of the mature vasculature) are defective in COUP-TFII mutants. These defects are consistent with a need of COUP-TFII function in the mesenchymal compartments of the head, spine and heart. Molecular analysis revealed that the Angiopoietine 1 gene which is important for the development of both the vascular system and the heart is down regulated in mutant animals. All these data suggest that COUP-TF is required for the signalling between the endothelial and mesenchymal compartments. Heterozygous mice have growth and reproductive defects. Reproductive defect is due to reduced expression of enzymes important for progesterone synthesis in the ovary and defective decidual response in the uterus. In addition, COUP-TFII conditional mutants have defect in migration of myoblast precursor cells to the limb resulting in hypoplastic muscle in the limbs. Furthermore, conditional mutants have defect in stomach development resulting in both anterior-posterior and radial axis defect. Using the same conditional mutants, it was found that COUP-TFII is important for diaphragm development. Thus animals develop a hole in the left side of diaphragm resulting in the protrusion of stomach content to the thorasic chamber. Finally, deletion of COUP-TFII in the endothelial cells resulting in the vein to acquire artery characteristics. Conversely, over expression of COUP-TFII in endothelial cells resulting in the fusion of vein and artery into a vein like vessel. Therefore, COUP-TFII is important in determine the vein vs. artery identity. |
