cDNA cloning, sequence comparison, and developmental expression of Xenopus rac1
The Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins are important signaling molecules that regulate the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton and mediate changes in cell morphology and motility. Here, we describe the temporal and spatial patterns of expression of the Rho family member, rac, during the development of the amphibian, Xenopus laevis. We also present the deduced amino acid sequence of Xenopus...
متن کاملMurine muscle-specific enolase: cDNA cloning, sequence, and developmental expression.
In vertebrates, the glycolytic enzyme enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) is present as homodimers and heterodimers formed from three distinct subunits of identical molecular weight, alpha, beta, and gamma. We report the cloning and sequencing of a cDNA encoding the beta subunit of murine muscle-specific enolase. The corresponding amino acid sequence shows greater than 80% homology with the beta subunit from...
متن کاملcDNA cloning and developmental expression of fibroblast growth factor receptors from Xenopus laevis.
The heparin-binding growth factors constitute a family of homologous polypeptides including basic and acidic fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). These factors participate in a variety of processes, including wound healing, angiogenesis, neuronal survival, and inductive events in the early amphibian embryo. We have isolated three closely related species of cDNA clones for Xenopus FGF receptors. On...
متن کاملNucleolin from Xenopus laevis: cDNA cloning and expression during development.
Nucleolin is a key nucleolar protein in higher eukaryotic cells and is involved directly in ribosome biogenesis. Using an antiserum raised against hamster nucleolin, the homologous protein was detected in nucleoli of Xenopus laevis hepatocytes as well as in the amplified nucleoli of oocytes. A cDNA encoding Xenopus nucleolin has been isolated and sequenced. The deduced protein sequence reveals ...
متن کاملCloning and developmental expression of Baf57 in Xenopus laevis
Mammalian and Drosophila homologues of Baf57 have been previously isolated as being a subunit of SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeling complexes. Here, we report the cloning and developmental expression of Xenopus Baf57. We isolated XBaf57 by using an expression cloning approach to identify novel modulators of Xenopus Smad7. XBaf57 co-operates with XSmad7 by increasing the expression of neural mark...
