This paper demonstrates for the first time a role for the Snail family in the promotion of cell death in the eye of Drosophila that can, in some cases, be non-cell autonomous. Before this, most data supported a cell autonomous anti-apoptotic role for these factors.

Development 133 (2006) 2875-2886. The authors employ targeted mutagenesis in the mouse to test the functional equivalency of Sox8 and Sox10. They find that when Sox8 is knocked in to the Sox10 locus, the embryonic and perinatal lethality associated with Sox10-deficient mice was rescued, but defects remained in melanocyte and enteric nervous system development, as well as in oligodendrocytes.

The authors show that morpholino mediated depletion of Sox8 in Xenopus delayed the onset of expression of markers of neural crest precursors. The expression of these factors was later recovered; however, the embryos showed defects in neural crest cell migration and differentiation. The authors also show that depletion of Sox8 can be rescued by either Sox9 or Sox10.

The authors demonstrate that Sox9 and Sox10 can function equivalently with respect to the formation of neural crest precursors, as well as later neural crest derivatives. It is also shown that SUMOylation state of these factors plays a key role in determining whether SoxE factors mediate neural crest or inner ear formation.

SoxD proteins influence multiple stages of oligodendrocyte development and modulate SoxE protein function. Dev Cell 11 (2006) 697-709. The authors show that SoxD factors are co-expressed with SoxE factors in oligodendrocytes and that they inhibit the ability of SoxE factors to activate myelin promoters. They further show that this inhibition is cell type dependent because these factors co-operate to activate myelin promoters when expressed in mesodermal cells.

The authors reveal a novel mechanism for regulating canonical Wnt signaling during neural crest emigration. BMP signaling promotes γ-secretase mediated cleavage of the N-cadherin cytoplasmic domain. The cleavage product, CTF2, binds beta-catenin and promotes its accumulation and nuclear translocation leading to activation of Wnt/beta-catenin targets.
