Isolation of pigment cell specific genes in the sea urchin embryo by differential macroarray screening.
New secondary mesenchyme specific genes, expressed exclusively in pigment cells, were isolated from sea urchin embryos using a differential screening of a macroarray cDNA library. The comparison was performed between mRNA populations of embryos having an expansion of the endo-mesodermal territory and embryos blocked in secondary mesenchyme specification. To be able to isolate transcripts with a...
متن کاملExpression of Pigment Cell-Specific Genes in the Ontogenesis of the Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius
One of the polyketide compounds, the naphthoquinone pigment echinochrome, is synthesized in sea urchin pigment cells. We analyzed polyketide synthase (pks) and sulfotransferase (sult) gene expression in embryos and larvae of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius from various stages of development and in specific tissues of the adults. We observed the highest level of expression of the p...
متن کاملSea Urchin Embryo: Specification of Cell Fate
020068:p0001 Sea urchin larvae develop from bilaterally symmetric deuterostome embryos whose basic structure is closely related to that of vertebrates. Millions of synchronously developing sea urchin embryos can be obtained by mixing gametes from a single pair of parents. The species most commonly studied develop into free-swimming pluteus larvae in about 3 days at 158C in a defined medium, sea...
متن کاملDifferential stability of expression of similarly specified endogenous and exogenous genes in the sea urchin embryo.
The object of these experiments was to determine whether competitive titration in vivo of factors required for expression of the CyIIIa.CAT fusion gene would affect expression of the endogenous CyIIIa gene in the same embryos. Earlier work showed that expression of this fusion gene after injection into sea urchin eggs is stoichiometrically reduced when low molar excesses of DNA fragments contai...
متن کاملThree sea urchin actin genes show different patterns of expression: muscle specific, embryo specific, and constitutive.
The expression of three different actin genes in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, was monitored in embryos and adult tissues by using untranslated mRNA sequences as specific hybridization probes. Three distinct patterns of expression were found: muscle specific, embryo specific, and constitutive (i.e., present in all tissues examined). The actin genes encoding the muscle-specific ...
