09-P001 Role of Flrt3 during vertebrate limb development
The apical ectodermal ridge (AER), a thickening of the limb epithelium at its distal tip, is pivotal for maintaining vertebrate limb outgrowth. In a recent study, Flrt3 has been involved in the activation of ERK by FGFs. Moreover, Flrt3 has been described as a transmembrane protein able to interact with FGF receptors modulating, this way, FGFR signaling, either directly or recruiting cytoplasmi...
متن کاملThe expression of Flrt3 during chick limb development.
The Flrt3 (Fibronectin-Leucine-Rich Transmembrane protein) gene encodes a fibronectin and leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein whose expression is controlled by fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). FLRT3 has been implicated in neurite outgrowth after nerve damage, as a positive regulator of FGF signalling and in homotypic cell adhesion. Here we describe Flrt3 expression during chick embryonic...
متن کاملThe role of SalU in vertebrate limb development
Genes required for limb developm ent have, in several instances, first been identified by studies of human diseases in which the limbs are affected. In humans, m utations in the transcription factor SALL4 results in Okihiro syndrome (OS), which is characterised by forelimb defects and the eye disorder, Duane anom aly. OS patients forelim b defects range from subtle thumb abnormalities to trunca...
متن کاملThe role of Alx-4 in the establishment of anteroposterior polarity during vertebrate limb development.
We have determined that Strong's Luxoid (lstJ) [corrected] mice have a 16 bp deletion in the homeobox region of the Alx-4 gene. This deletion, which leads to a frame shift and a truncation of the Alx-4 protein, could cause the polydactyly phenotype observed in lstJ [corrected] mice. We have cloned the chick homologue of Alx-4 and investigated its expression during limb outgrowth. Chick Alx-4 di...
متن کاملCell to Cell Signalling during Vertebrate Limb Development
The vertebrate limb is one of the most relevant experimental models in which to analyse cell-cell signalling during patterning of embryonic fields and organogenesis. Recently, the combination of molecular and genetic studies with experimental manipulation of developing limb buds has significantly advanced our understanding of the complex molecular interactions coordinating limb bud outgrowth an...
