Abstract
The Snail superfamily of transcription factors have a modular organization and their similarities and divergences are the basis for subdividing the superfamily into the Snail1/2 and Scratch families. As it is generally accepted that the Snail and Scratch families originated through gene duplication, understanding the functional contribution of each module could provide us with further insight about the molecular and functional evolution of the Snail superfamily. Thus, in this work, we investigated the function of the SNAG and SCRATCH domains in chicken Scratch2. Through evolutionary comparison analysis we identified a novel HINGE domain that lies between the SNAG and SCRATCH domain. Similar to members of the Snail1/2 families, Scratch2-mediated transcriptional repression requires SNAG and nuclear localization requires the zinc-finger domain. We also identified a novel HINGE domain that lies between the SNAG and SCRATCH domain. HINGE is highly conserved in amniotes. Single mutations of the conserved Tyrosine and Serine residues of HINGE downregulated Scratch2-mediated transcriptional repression. This effect depended on the presence of the SCRATCH domain.
