We are interested in understanding hierarchical regulation pathways that control gene expression in developing teeth. In pursuit of the molecular basis for the regulated expression of amelogenin by developing ameloblasts during tooth formation, we isolated the murine amelogenin promoter. Analysis of this promoter will provide additional details towards the identification of signals generated through instructive-, dissimilar-germ layer interactions that are for responsible for temporal- and spatial-regulation for amelogenin gene expression. Using transgenic mice we demonstrate that a 2263 nucleotide stretch of the murine amelogenin promoter conveys appropriate temporal- and spatial-regulation for amelogenin gene expression in response to instructive-signals. These transgenic animals are useful reagents to further dissect signaling pathways responsible for regulated gene expression by terminally differentiated ameloblasts.
