POU3F1, also known as OCT6, is a transcription factor involved in early embyrogenesis and neuronal developement, particularly the myelination of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (Monuki et al, 1990; Jaegle et al, 1996; Ryu et al, 2007; reviewed in Zhao, 2013; Svaren and Meijer, 2008). Expression of POU3F1 in Schwann cells is transient, and peaks at the promyelination stage, and loss of POUF3F1 causese a delay in myelination (Jaegle et al, 2003; Jaegle et al, 1996).
Expression of POU3F1 is driven in part by the Schwann Cell Enhancer (SCE), which is bound by a dimer of SOX10, a key regulator of Schwann cell development (Jagalur et al, 2011). POU3F1 expression is also regulated by the adhesion GPCR ADGRG6 (also known as GPR126). Expression of POU3F1 and EGR2 is lost in grp126 mutant, which arrest at a promyelinating stage (Monk et al, 2009; Monk et al, 2011). ADGRG6 elevates cAMP levels through G alpha s G proteins, and may control POU3F1 expression through the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway (Morgan et al, 1991; Lee et al, 1999; Mandemakers et al, 2000; Monk et al, 2009; Monk et al, 2011; Mogha et al, 2013; reviewed in Svaren and Meijer). CREB phosphorylation may also be regulated by the NRG1-ERBB2:ERBB3 pathway (reviewedi n Newbern and Birchmeier,2010).
After induction, POU3F1, POU3F2 (also known as OCT7) and SOX10 work together in a feedforward mechanism to activate expression of EGR2, which ultimately promotes expression of genes encoding myelin components, such as myelin protein zero (MPZ) and myelin basic protein (MBP) (Ghislain and Charnay, 2006; Le Blanc et al, 2006; Le Blanc et al, 2007; Marathe et al, 2013; reviewed in Stolt and Wegner, 2016; Svaren and Meijer, 2008)
