Cloning and expression of a novel cysteine-rich secreted protein family member expressed in thyroid and pancreatic mesoderm within the chicken embryo
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have isolated a new chicken gene that is a member of the cysteine-rich secreted protein family (CRISP). The CRISP family is composed of over 70 members that are found in many phyla of organisms, including: vertebrates, plants, fungi, yeast, and insects. Here we describe the cloning of a novel member of this family, SugarCrisp, and its expression pattern throughout chicken embryogenesis. We also describe its utility as a marker of thyroid and pancreatic mesoderm in the developing chicken embryo and its expression within the human and mouse in glandular tissue.

Isolation and expression of recombinant viral protein (VP2) from Iranian isolates of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) in Escherichia coli
Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

متن کاملOverexpression of the secreted factor Mig30 expressed in the Spemann organizer impairs morphogenetic movements during Xenopus gastrulation
The Spemann organizer secretes several antagonists of growth factors during gastrulation. We describe a novel secreted protein, Mig30, which is expressed in the anterior endomesoderm of the Spemann organizer. Mixer-inducible gene 30 (Mig30) was isolated as a target of Mixer, a homeobox gene required for endoderm development. The Mig30 gene encodes a secreted protein containing a cysteine-rich d...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Expression of Nucleocapsid Gene of Chicken Infectious Bronchitis Virus Strain Massachusetts H120
Chicken infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes severe respiratory and renal dysfunction in chickens. In the present study, we used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene of strain Massachusetts (Mass) H120 of IBV that is commonly used in the vaccine production in Iran. The PCR product with the expected size of 1.2 kb was cloned in...
متن کاملExpression of four zebrafish wnt-related genes during embryogenesis.
The wnt gene family codes for a group of cysteine-rich, secreted proteins, which are differentially expressed in the developing embryo and are possibly involved in cellular communication. Here, we describe the polymerase chain reaction based cloning and embryonic expression patterns of four zebrafish wnt-related sequences; wnt[a], wnt[b], wnt[c] and wnt[d]. One of these genes, wnt[a], is a pote...
