The GATA family of erythroid transcription factors is categorized by the ability to bind to the consensus sequence GATA. GATA transcription factors play important roles in the development of many organ systems, including hematopoietic, cardiovascular, reproductive, and gut-endoderm derived tissue. GATA transcription factor homologs in zebrafish are highly conserved in sequence, expression pattern, and function, making the zebrafish an appropriate model for the study of GATA factors. An in vivo study demonstrates the integral role of Gata-1 to erythroid differentiation: loss of Gata-1 alone results in the transformation of erythroid precursors into myeloid cells. Gata-1 expression undergoes positive autoregulation.
