Conserved C-terminal residues adjacent to the canonical PDX1 homeodomain are required for chromatin occupancy and pancreas development

Essential roles for the PDX1 transcription factor in pancreatic development and β-cell function are well-known, yet the structure-function relationships of domains within its C-terminus remain incompletely defined. We identified a focal intrinsically disordered region (IDR) spann...
