Myogenin, a member of the MyoD family of helix-loop-helix proteins, can induce myogenesis in a wide range of cell types. In addition to activating muscle structural genes, members of the MyoD family can autoactivate their own and cross-activate one another's expression in transfected cells. This has led to the hypothesis that autoregulatory loops among these factors provide a mechanism for amplifying and maintaining the muscle-specific gene expression program in vivo. Here, we make use of myogenin-null mice to directly test this hypothesis. To investigate whether the myogenin protein autoregulates the myogenin gene during embryogenesis, we introduced a myogenin-lacZ transgene into mice harboring a null mutation at the myogenin locus. Despite a severe deficiency of skeletal muscle in myogenin-null neonates, the myogenin-lacZ transgene was expressed normally in myogenic cells throughout embryogenesis. These results show that myogenin is not required for regulation of the myogenin gene and argue against the existence of a myogenin autoregulatory loop in the embryo.
