XIdx, A dominant negative regulator of bHLH function in early Xenopus embryos
We have identified a divergent member of the Xenopus Id family, XIdx, which disrupts binding of myogenic factor/E-protein complexes to DNA in vitro and inhibits transactivation of the E-box regulated cardiac actin gene by MyoD in embryonic tissue. XIdx transcripts accumulate from the early neurula stage in discrete domains of the anterior neural plate and subsequently identify regions of the de...
متن کاملExpression of a dominant-negative Wnt blocks induction of MyoD in Xenopus embryos.
During gastrulation of Xenopus embryos the prospective mesoderm is induced initially with domains of dorsal and ventral fate, then further patterned to generate somitic mesoderm by signals from the gastrula organizer. Although Xwnt-8 is expressed in future ventrolateral mesoderm and induces prospective epidermis to differentiate in vitro as ventral mesoderm, no loss-of-function studies have dem...
متن کاملExpression of a dominant negative mutant of the FGF receptor disrupts mesoderm formation in Xenopus embryos.
Peptide growth factors may play a role in patterning of the early embryo, particularly in the induction of mesoderm. We have explored the role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in early Xenopus development by expressing a dominant negative mutant form of the FGF receptor. Using a functional assay in frog oocytes, we found that a truncated form of the receptor effectively abolished wild-type rec...
متن کاملinterpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
15 صفحه اولPosterior expression of a homeobox gene in early Xenopus embryos.
The homeobox containing transcript Xhox-36 is expressed exclusively in the posterior mesoderm and ectoderm of early Xenopus embryos. Therefore, the transcript shows region-specific rather than tissue-specific expression in the gastrula and neurula, a time when cells are becoming committed to defined fates. Exposure of early embryos to LiCl, which shifts posterior cells to more anterior fates, r...
