15-P016 Evolution of HoxA genes towards extra-embryonic functions
Hox genes are well known for their key contribution to the establishment of the body architecture. This function relies on both local and long-range cis-regulatory elements that generate nested expression patterns of the various Hox genes along the anterior–posterior axis of the developing embryo. Interestingly, analyses of expression patterns in different species suggested that modulation of t...
متن کاملTeleost HoxD and HoxA genes: comparison with tetrapods and functional evolution of the HOXD complex
In tetrapods, Hox genes are essential for the proper organization and development of axial structures. Experiments involving Hox gene inactivations have revealed their particularly important functions in the establishment of morphological transitions within metameric series such as the vertebral column. Teleost fish show a much simpler range of axial (trunk or appendicular) morphologies, which ...
متن کاملAdditive and global functions of HoxA cluster genes in mesoderm derivatives.
Hox genes encode transcription factors that play a central role in the specification of regional identities along the anterior to posterior body axis. In the developing mouse embryo, Hox genes from all four genomic clusters are involved in range of developmental processes, including the patterning of skeletal structures and the formation of several organs. However, the functional redundancy obs...
متن کامل07-P016 Multiple functions of Mitf in the melanophore development
embryogenesis, the ventral telencephalon (VT) plays a major role in the early development of these tracts. First, two populations of pioneer neurons allow corticothalamic (CTA) and thalamocortical axons (TCA) to enter the VT. Secondly, the VT forms a permissive corridor which guides TCAs through the MGE. Finally, thalamortical and corticothalamic axons guide each other once they have met in the...
متن کاملAdaptive evolution of HoxA-11 and HoxA-13 at the origin of the uterus in mammals.
The evolution of morphological characters is mediated by the evolution of developmental genes. Evolutionary changes can either affect cis-regulatory elements, leading to differences in their temporal and spatial regulation, or affect the coding region. Although there is ample evidence for the importance of cis-regulatory evolution, it has only recently been shown that transcription factors do n...
