Wnt4 affects morphogenesis when misexpressed in the zebrafish embryo
The Wnts are a family of secreted glycoproteins involved in cell-cell signalling and pattern formation during development, although the extent to which various Wnts are functionally equivalent remains unclear. We have cloned zebrafish (Danio rerio) wnt4, characterized its expression, and compared its activity relative to other Wnts. The wnt4 transcript is first detected early in somitogenesis, ...
متن کاملKnockdown of Nav1.6a Na+ channels affects zebrafish motoneuron development.
In addition to rapid signaling, electrical activity provides important cues to developing neurons. Electrical activity relies on the function of several different types of voltage-gated ion channels. Whereas voltage-gated Ca2+ channel activity regulates several aspects of neuronal differentiation, much less is known about developmental roles of voltage-gated Na+ channels, essential mediators of...
متن کاملPlakoglobin expression and localization in zebrafish embryo development.
Plakoglobin (gamma-catenin) and beta-catenin are major components of the adherens junctions and can be localized to the nucleus by activation of the Wnt signalling pathway. In addition, plakoglobin is also found in desmosomes, a vertebrate-specific cell-cell adhesion structure. Plakoglobin expression and localization were examined at the protein level during zebrafish embryonic development by W...
متن کاملElevated aminopeptidase N affects sperm motility and early embryo development
Aminopeptidase N (APN) is a naturally occurring ectopeptidase present in mammalian semen. Previous studies have demonstrated that APN adversely affects male fertility through the alteration of sperm motility. This enzyme constitutes 0.5 to 1% of the seminal plasma proteins, which can be transferred from the prostasomes to sperms by a fusion process. In the present study, we investigated the mol...
متن کاملMfn2 Affects Embryo Development via Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Apoptosis
BACKGROUND Growth factors, energy sources, and mitochondrial function strongly affect embryo growth and development in vitro. The biological role and prospective significance of the mitofusin gene Mfn2 in the development of preimplantation embryos remain poorly understood. Our goal is to profile the role of Mfn2 in mouse embryos and determine the underlying mechanism of Mfn2 function in embryo ...
