An orphan gene is necessary for preaxial digit formation during salamander limb development
Limb development in salamanders differs from other tetrapods in that the first digits to form are the two most anterior (preaxial dominance). This has been proposed as a salamander novelty and its mechanistic basis is unknown. Salamanders are the only adult tetrapods able to regenerate the limb, and the contribution of preaxial dominance to limb regeneration is unclear. Here we show that during...
متن کاملDigit patterning during limb development as a result of the BMP-receptor interaction
Turing models have been proposed to explain the emergence of digits during limb development. However, so far the molecular components that would give rise to Turing patterns are elusive. We have recently shown that a particular type of receptor-ligand interaction can give rise to Schnakenberg-type Turing patterns, which reproduce patterning during lung and kidney branching morphogenesis. Recent...
متن کاملIdentity Development during Adolescence
Billy, the adolescent hero in Cormac McCarthy's novel, The Crossing (1994), pauses in his search for the path that will lead him to his stolen horses and, symbolically, point the way into his own adult life. He listens to the words of an older opera singer as she conveys something of the road ahead. That journey one must make alone, she informs him. It is difficult even for two brothers to trav...
متن کاملRetinoic acid signaling is required during early chick limb development.
In the chick limb bud, the zone of polarizing activity controls limb patterning along the anteroposterior and proximodistal axes. Since retinoic acid can induce ectopic polarizing activity, we examined whether this molecule plays a role in the establishment of the endogenous zone of polarizing activity. Grafts of wing bud mesenchyme treated with physiologic doses of retinoic acid had weak polar...
متن کاملmBtd is required to maintain signaling during murine limb development.
buttonhead (btd) encodes an SP1-like transcription factor required for the generation and specification of Drosophila head segments. We identified a murine btd homolog, termed mouse Btd (mBtd), which can support btd-dependent head development in transgenic fly embryos. Functional studies show that mBtd-deficient mice develop to term and die at birth. They exhibit brain malformations, posterior ...
