Model of Pou3f3 regulation in the evolution of vertebrate gill covers. Pou3 genes are ancestrally expressed in the CNS (blue element). In early jawed vertebrates, emergence of a new enhancer in the Pou3f3 locus (green element) allowed cooption of its expression into arch mesenchyme. Subsequent sequence changes in this enhancer then reinforced anterior arch expression in bony vertebrates and pan-arch expression in cartilaginous vertebrates. Additional enhancers (e.g. yellow element) likely evolved to reinforce arch expression, at least in the teleost lineage. Intersection of these patterns with PEM signaling centers produces the single- versus multiple gill cover patterns observed in the two gnathostome lineages today.
