In the last two decades the molecular analysis of axis induction and embryonic patterning has provided a blueprint for body axis
INTRODUCTION In the last two decades the molecular analysis of axis induction and embryonic patterning has provided a blueprint for body axis formation and organizer function in several species, including amphibians, chicken, zebrafish and mouse (Arnold and Robertson, 2009; De Robertis et al., 2000; Niehrs, 2004; Nowotschin and Hadjantonakis, 2010). In the mouse, the anterior-posterior (A-P) ax...
متن کاملOpposing FGF and retinoid pathways: a signalling switch that controls differentiation and patterning onset in the extending vertebrate body axis.
Construction of the trunk/caudal region of the vertebrate embryo involves a set of distinct molecules and processes whose relationships are just coming into focus. In addition to the subdivision of the embryo into head and trunk domains, this "caudalisation" process requires the establishment and maintenance of a stem zone. This sequentially generates caudal tissues over a long period which the...
متن کاملA spin label that binds to myosin heads in muscle fibers with its principal axis parallel to the fiber axis.
We have used an indane-dione spin label (2-[-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolin-3-yl)methenyl]in dane-1,3-dione), designated InVSL, to study the orientation of myosin heads in bundles of chemically skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers, with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. After reversible preblocking with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitro-benzoic acid) (DTNB), we were able to attach mos...
متن کاملKlf4 is required for germ-layer differentiation and body axis patterning during Xenopus embryogenesis.
Klf4 is a transcription factor of the family of Kruppel-like factors and plays important roles in stem cell biology; however, its function during embryogenesis is unknown. Here, we report the characterization of a Klf4 homologue in Xenopus laevis during embryogenesis. Klf4 is transcribed both maternally and zygotically and the transcript is ubiquitous in embryos during germ-layer formation. Klf...
متن کاملThe Left-Right Coordinator: The Role of Vg1 in Organizing Left-Right Axis Formation
The asymmetries of internal organs are consistently oriented along the left-right axis in all vertebrates, and perturbations of left-right orientation lead to significant congenital disease. We propose a model in which a "left-right coordinator" interacts with the Spemann organizer to coordinate the evolutionarily conserved three-dimensional asymmetries in the embryo. The Vg1 cell-signaling pat...
