The winged helix gene Brain factor-1 (BF1) has a
pleiotropic role in the development of the cerebral hemispheres of the
brain. Mice lacking BF1 have defects in the morphogenesis of the
structures of the dorsal telencephalon (e.g., neocortex) and the
ventral telencephalon (e.g., the basal ganglia). This study focuses on the functions of BF1 in the dorsal telencephalon. We showed previously that telencephalic progenitor cells lacking BF1 differentiate into
neurons prematurely. Here, we demonstrate that the loss of BF1 also
results in an early lengthening of the cell cycle in neocortical
progenitors. To investigate the mechanisms by which BF1 regulates
progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation in the developing
brain, we have replaced the endogenous BF1 protein with a DNA binding
defective form of BF1 in mice, BF1NHAA. The
BF1NHAA protein restores the growth of the dorsal
telencephalon, by improving the proliferation of progenitor cells.
However, the BF1NHAA protein does not correct the
early neuronal differentiation associated with the loss of BF1. In
contrast, replacement of endogenous BF1 with wild-type BF1
corrects the defects in both the proliferation and differentiation of
neocortical progenitors. These results demonstrate that BF1 controls
progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation in the neocortex
through distinct DNA binding-independent and binding-dependent mechanisms.
