A dominant-negative mutation of mouse Lmx1b causes glaucoma and is semi-lethal via LDB1-mediated dimerization [corrected]. by Sally H Cross, Danilo G Macalinao, Lisa McKie, Lorraine Rose, Alison L Kearney, Joe Rainger, Caroline Thaung, Margaret Keighren, Shalini Jadeja, Katrine West, Stephen C Kneeland, Richard S Smith, Gareth R Howell, Fiona Young, Morag Robertson, Rob van T' Hof, Simon W M John, Ian J Jackson

“…We show that the null phenotype is rescued more effectively by an Lmx1b transgene than is Icst. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that both wild-type and Icst LMX1B are found in complexes with LIM domain binding protein 1 (LDB1), resulting in lower levels of functional LMX1B in Icst heterozygotes than null heterozygotes. …”
