The heat-inducible zebrafish hsp70 gene is expressed during normal lens development under non-stress conditions
In the present study, we show that the stress-inducible hsp70 gene in zebrafish is strongly and specifically expressed during normal lens formation from 28 to 38 hours post-fertilization, and is subsequently downregulated by 2 days of age. Only weak constitutive hsp70 mRNA signal was sporadically observed in other embryonic tissues. Similarly, transgenic fish carrying a 1.5 kb fragment of the h...
متن کاملHeat shock factor 1 is required for constitutive Hsp70 expression and normal lens development in embryonic zebrafish.
Heat shock factors (HSFs) are the major transcription factors responsible for heat-induced upregulation of heat shock protein (Hsp) genes. All three mammalian HSFs (HSF1, HSF2, HSF4) have also been shown to be required for normal mammalian development. It is currently unknown if HSFs play similarly important roles during normal development of non-mammalian vertebrates. In the present study, a m...
متن کاملHeat shock gene expression and function during zebrafish embryogenesis.
Recent work in the zebrafish, Danio rerio, indicates that heat shock genes are expressed in unique spatial patterns under non-stress conditions. In particular, hsp90alpha is expressed during the normal differentiation of striated muscle fibres, and hsp70-4 is expressed during normal lens development in the eye. Furthermore, disruption of the activity of either of these genes or their protein pr...
متن کاملZebrafish pitx3 is necessary for normal lens and retinal development
The human PITX3 gene encodes a bicoid-like homeodomain transcription factor associated with a variety of congenital ocular conditions, including anterior segment dysgenesis, Peter's anomaly, and cataracts. We identified a zebrafish pitx3 gene encoding a protein (Pitx3) that possesses 63% amino acid identity with human PITX3. The zebrafish pitx3 gene encompasses approximately 16.5kb on chromosom...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression in Festuca under heat stress conditions.
Fescues (Festuca sp.) are major cool-season forage and turf grass species around the world. Heat stress is one of the limiting factors in the production of fescues as forage in the southern Great Plains of the US. Heat responsive gene transcripts were cloned by using suppression subtractive hybridization between a heat-tolerant and a heat-sensitive fescue genotype subjected to a slowly increase...
