Patterning the early Xenopus embryo.
Developmental biology teachers use the example of the frog embryo to introduce young scientists to the wonders of vertebrate development, and to pose the crucial question, 'How does a ball of cells become an exquisitely patterned embryo?'. Classical embryologists also recognized the power of the amphibian model and used extirpation and explant studies to explore early embryo polarity and to def...
متن کاملThe expression of a novel cxcr4 gene in Xenopus embryo.
The aim of the present work was to identify a homologue of zebrafish cxcr4b in Xenopus, which could be involved in primordial germ cell (PGC) guidance migration. Following a BLAST analysis, the clone gi 27519681, homologous to the zebrafish gene z-cxcr4b, was identified, inserted into pCMV-SPORT6 plasmid and cloned in Escherichia coli. Embryonic expression of x-cxcr4b was analyzed by RT-PCR. X-...
متن کاملMaternal Mga is required for Wnt signaling and organizer formation in the early Xenopus embryo.
Maternal Wnt11 is both necessary and sufficient for the formation of Spemann organizer in Xenopus embryo. Xnr3 and Siamois have been identified as the direct target genes of maternal Wnt11/β-catenin during organizer induction. The depletion of maternal XTcf3 resulted in the ectopic expression of Xnr3 and Siamois, suggesting the activity of β-catenin/XTcf3 is strictly regulated in the early Xeno...

delayed chondrocyte differentiation since Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is not expressed in the ulna of Ulnaless or Hoxa11//d11/ mice. Fibroblast growth factor 3 (Fgfr3), which is expressed at low levels in distal cells and at high levels in columnar chondrocytes, shows low expression in the Ulnaless and Hoxa11//d11/ zeugopod resembling the expression level in distal chondrocytes. However, the Unique c...
متن کاملThe role of Mixer in patterning the early Xenopus embryo.
The transcription factor VegT, is required in early Xenopus embryos for the formation of both the mesoderm and endoderm germ layers. Inherited as a maternal mRNA localized only in vegetal cells, VegT activates the transcription of a large number of transcription factors, as well as signaling ligands that induce cells in the vegetal mass to form endoderm, and the marginal zone to form mesoderm. ...
