초록

Sox 패밀리는 동물계 전체에서 찾아지는 전사인자이고, HMG라는 특이적인 DNA결합 도메인을 가진다. 이 Sox 패밀리는 HMG 도메인의 아미노산 서열을 바탕으로 현재 10개의 그룹으로 분류된다. 각 그룹의 오소로그한 Sox 단백질들은 선충에서 인간까지 상당한 보존성을 보인다. HMG 도메인은 전사 촉진 좌위에 결합하고 다른 전사인자들의 결합을 조절함으로써 동물 발생과정의 다양한 세포에서 발현되어 그들의 분화에 결정적인 영향을 미친다. 최근 많은 분자 생물학자들이 Sox 유전자와 관련된 질병, 진화, 그리고 계통 분류 등에 많은 관심을 보이고 있다. 특히, 줄기세포에서 Sox 유전자의 연구는 그들의 생물학적인 기능을 이해하기 위해 꼭 필요한 분야이다. 아마도 이 Sox 유전자들을 이해함으로써, 인간의 유전적 질병과 인간을 포함한 전체 동물계의 진화를 이해할 수 있는 열쇠가 될 것이라 생각한다.

Sox protein family, a transcription factor, has been found in whole animal kingdom, and contains a sequence-specific DNA binding domain called high mobility group domain (HMG). The Sox protein family based on the amino acid sequence of HMG domain was classified into 10 groups. Each group of Sox family shows significant conservation from nematode to human. The HMG domain affect to various developmental cell differentiation through binding to enhancer and regulating other transcription factors. Recently, many molecular biologists focus their research on the illustration of Sox-related disease, evolution and phylogeny. Especially, stem cell research with Sox gene family is indispensable field for understanding of their biological functions. The understanding of Sox genes may contribute to understand their role in human genetic disease and whole animal evolution.
