Tissue-specific developmental expression of OAX, a Xenopus repetitive element
Approximately 1% of the Xenopus laevis genome consists of highly repetitive DNA known alternatively as OAX (for Oocyte Activation in Xenopus), Satellite I, or Repetitive HindIII Monomer 2. Present as tandemly repeated units of approximately 750 base pairs, OAX encodes a family of small RNA species transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Although the subject of many of the classic studies on early em...
متن کاملDevelopmental and tissue expression of Xenopus laevis RPGR.
PURPOSE The present study examined the developmental and tissue expression of the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene in Xenopus laevis. METHODS The cDNA for X. laevis RPGR (XRPGR) was isolated from adult eye mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The deduced peptide sequence was aligned with RPGR orthologues. Gene ...
متن کاملBRIEF COMMUNICATION Developmental and tissue-specific expression of NITRs
Novel immune-type receptors (NITRs) are encoded by large multi-gene families and share structural and signaling similarities to mammalian natural killer receptors (NKRs). NITRs have been identified in multiple bony fish species, including zebrafish, and may be restricted to this large taxonomic group. Thirty-nine NITR genes that can be classified into 14 families are encoded on zebrafish chromo...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of CPG15 expression in Xenopus.
Mechanisms controlling dendritic arbor formation affect the establishment of neuronal circuits. Candidate plasticity gene 15 (CPG15) is a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked activity-induced protein that has been shown to function as an intercellular signaling molecule that can promote the morphological and physiological development of the Xenopus retinotectal system. A thorough understa...
متن کاملDevelopmental Expression of the Xenopus Iaevis fos
Abstrad We have isolated the Xenopus Iaevis homologue of the protooncogene los. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the complementary DNA revealed a coding domain for a 370-amino acid protein which shares extensive sequence homology with the avian and mammalian fos protein. During Xenopus development, the los mRNA is present in the oocyte and egg stages and declines to relatively low levels by the ...
